PER CURIAM.
Charles J. Grapski appeals two orders of dismissal. The order rendered July 12, 2023, dismissed all remaining claims against the City of Altamonte Springs. We have jurisdiction, see Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(k), and affirm.
The order rendered June 26, 2023, granted in part and denied in part Jeffery Garner’s motion to dismiss. Because the issue raised on appeal overlaps and is interrelated with other pending claims, we dismiss the appeal of order rendered June 26, 2023, as premature. See Pohlman v. Aqua Condo. Devs., Ltd., 992 So. 2d 288, 289 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008).1
AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part. LAMBERT, KILBANE, and MACIVER, JJ., concur.
