MELODY J. STEWART, A.J.:

      {¶1} Sua sponte, it appears that the lower court case number listed in the notice of

appeal, CR-563092, has been dismissed without prejudice by the court of common pleas

because the state of Ohio has reindicted the remaining defendants under a new court of

common pleas case number. Our appellate jurisdiction extends only to CR-563092, the

case actually appealed to this court. See Marcum v. Colonial Ins. Co. of Wisconsin, 10th

Dist. Franklin No. 02AP-917, 2003-Ohio-4369, ¶ 20; State v. Steers, 4th Dist.

Washington No. 11CA33, 2013-Ohio-3266, ¶ 1. Because a dismissal without prejudice

is not a final order under R.C. 2505.02, State v. Craig, 116 Ohio St.3d 135,

2007-Ohio-5752, 876 N.E.2d 957, ¶ 8, we have no jurisdiction over this interlocutory

appeal.

      {¶2} Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.

      It is ordered that appellees recover of appellant their costs herein taxed.

      A certified copy of this entry shall constitute the mandate pursuant to Rule 27 of

the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
