Before BARKDULL and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ., and ORFINGER, MELVIN, Associate Judge.
PER CURIAM.
Subsequent to receiving a money judgment, the plaintiff filed in the original action an impleader complaint against certain of the judgment debtor's relatives alleging a fraudulent transfer of assets (which were not described) and seeking money damages. Thereafter, the plaintiff filed a Lis Pendens listing certain specific properties, both real and personal. The impleaded defendants moved to discharge the Lis Pendens. The trial court denied same and a petition for certiorari was filed in this court, which we treat as a non-final appeal. See Munilla v. Espinosa, 533 So. 2d 895 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988), Case No. 88-1139, opinion filed November 8, 1988.
The impleader complaint not describing or seeking any relief against specific properties,[1] it was error to deny the motion to *608 discharge. We therefore reverse the order under review with directions to grant same.
NOTES
[1]  The plaintiff's original claim not arising out of a document entitled to be recorded, even if the impleader complaint did describe particular property, it would have been appropriate, upon motion, to require a bond, the same as required in the issuance of a temporary injunction.
