In Re AMENDMENTS TO the FLORIDA RULES OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE

PER CURIAM. The Appellate Court Rules Committee (Committee) has filed its regular-cycle re *246 port proposing amendments to the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure. The regular-cycle report is submitted pursuant to Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.140(b). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const. BACKGROUND Consistent with rule 2.140(b), the Committee published its initial proposals, received comments, and revised and republished some of the proposals before submitting them to the Court. As required by the rule, the proposed amendments were also submitted to the Board of Governors of The Florida Bar, which recommends adoption of the amendments. Following the filing of the Committee’s report with this Court, the proposals were again published for comment, and several comments were received. The Committee has responded to the comments. The Court held oral argument on the proposed amendments. The Committee proposes amendments to the following rules: 9.020 (Definitions); 9.100 (Original Proceedings); 9.110 (Appeal Proceedings to Review Final Orders of Lower Tribunals and Orders Granting New Trial in Jury and Non-Jury Cases); 9.130 (Proceedings to Review Non-Final Orders and Specified Final Orders); 9.140 (Appeal Proceedings in Criminal Cases); 9.141 (Review Proceedings in .Collateral or Post-Conviction Criminal Cases); 9.142 (Procedures for Review in Death Penalty Cases); 9.145 (Appeal Proceedings in Juvenile Delinquency Cases); 9.146 (Appeal Proceedings in Juvenile Dependency and Termination of Parental Rights Cases and Cases Involving Families and Children in Need of Services); 9.160 (Discretionary Proceedings to Review Decisions of County Courts); 9.180 (Appeal Proceedings to Review Workers’ Compensation Cases); 9.190 (Judicial Review of Administrative Action); 9.200 (The Record); 9.210 (Briefs); 9.300 (Motions); 9.310 (Stay Pending Review); 9.320 (Oral Argument); 9.330 (Rehearing; Clarification; Certification); 9.331 (Determination of Causes in a District Court of Appeal En Banc); 9.340 (Mandate); 9.350 (Dismissal of Causes); 9.400 (Costs and Attorneys’ Fees); 9.410 (Sanctions); 9.420 (Filing; Service of Copies; Computation of Time); 9.430 (Proceedings by Indigents); 9.600 (Jurisdiction of Lower Tribunal Pending Review); 9.720 (Mediation Procedures); 9.800 (Uniform Citation System); and 9.900 (Forms). The Committee also proposes the adoption of a new rule, rule 9.147 (Appeal Proceedings to Review Final Orders Dismissing Petitions for Judicial Waiver of Parental Notice of Termination of Pregnancy), the substance of which is not new but is being moved from rule 9.110(n) and adopted as a separate rule. With respect to several of the rules, the Committee has submitted optional proposals as explained below. Having considered the Committee’s report, the comments, and the Committee’s responses to the comments, and having heard oral argument, we adopt the majority of the Committee’s proposals and choose between its optional proposals as to one of the rules. With respect to one proposal, we decline to adopt the Committee’s language but adopt a revised amendment instead. And finally, we decline to adopt one of the Committee’s amendment proposals as explained below. AMENDMENTS Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.020(f), Rendition, and 9.110(f), Premature Appeals, are amended to clarify the relationship between the two rules. Rule 9:020(i) is amended to eliminate the language providing that postjudgment motions are abandoned upon the filing of a notice of appeal. The amended rule will *247 allow an appeal to be held in abeyance until disposition of a postjudgment motion. Under rule 9.110(Z), premature appeals are subject to dismissal. The .amendment adds language recognizing the ■ exception provided in rule 9.020(i) and recognizing that the lower tribunal retains jurisdiction to render a final order. The amendment further provides that the court may allow the parties time to obtain a final order. New rule 9.147 is not actually new. ■ It is merely a readoption of existing rule 9.110, subdivision (n), as a separate rule. Subdivision (n) is accordingly deleted from rule 9.110. Rule 9.100, Original Proceedings, governs the procedure applicable to original petitions. As it exists currently, subdivision (h) provides as follows: (h) Order to Show Cause. If the petition demonstrates a preliminary basis for relief, a departure from the essential requirements of law that will cause material injury for which there is no adequate remedy by appeal, or that review of final administrative action would not provide an adequate remedy, the court may issue an order directing the respondent to show cause within the time set by the court, why relief should not be granted. In prohibition proceedings such orders shall stay further proceedings in the lower tribunal. The Committee proposes two optional amendments to this rule. The Committee’s report states that its proposed changes are in response to a concern that “courts are avoiding the automatic stay [in prohibition cases] by requiring a response instead of issuing an order to show cause.” Proposed option 1 would provide that the only way for a court to request a response to a writ petition is by issuing an order to show cause. The proposal would add the following sentence to subdivision (h): “The court shall request' a response to a petition only through the issuance of an order to show cause.” Thus the court’s discretion to request a response in a prohibition case without staying the proceedings in the lower tribunal would be eliminated. Proposed option 2 would recognize the court’s discretion to choose either path, i.e., either issue an order to show cause- and stay the proceedings below (in. prohibition cases) or request a response, which would not stay the proceedings. Option 2 would make explicit that which up to- now has been the unwritten but well understood effect of the language of subdivision (h). In order to continue to allow courts the discretion to request a response to a petition for writ of prohibition without bringing the proceedings in the lower tribunal to a halt, we adopt option 2 as reflected in-the appendix. Rule 9.110(k) governs review of partial final judgments and in pertinent part provides that “partial final judgments are reviewable either on appeal from the partial final judgment or on appeal from the final judgment in the entire case:” .The Committee proposes adding the following language to subdivision (k): “A partial final judgment, other than one that disposes of an entire case as to any party, is one that disposes of a claim that is completely unrelated to the claims that remain pending.” We decline to adopt this proposed language and instead look to the case of Mendez v. West Flagler Family Ass’n, 303 So.2d 1 (Fla.1974), as a guide to better distinguish those partial final judgments that are immediately appealable from those that are not. Under Mendez, a partial final judgment is appealable if it disposes of a “separate-and■distinct cause of action .. -. which is not interdependent with other pleaded claims.” Id. at 5.' We revise the proposed amendment and adopt it as shown in the appendix. • *248 Rule 9.310, Stay Pending Review, provides in subdivision (a) that, except as specified, “a party seeking to stay a final or non-final order pending review shall file a motion in the lower tribunal, which shall have continuing jurisdiction, in its discretion, to grant, modify, or deny such relief.” The subdivision, as currently written, further provides: “A stay pending review may be conditioned on the posting of a good and sufficient bond, other conditions, or both.” Subdivision (b) of the rule provides in pertinent part: If the order is a judgment solely for the payment of money, a party may obtain a stay of execution pending review, without the necessity of a motion or order, by posting a good and sufficient bond equal to the principal amount of the judgment plus twice the statutory rate of interest on judgments on the total amount on which the party has an obligation to pay interest. The Committee proposes two alternative amendments to subdivision (b). Proposed option 1 would provide that a party can only obtain a stay of a judgment that is “solely for the payment of money” by posting a “good and sufficient bond” in the amount of the principal plus twice the statutory rate of interest. Proposed option 2 would provide that if a party does not obtain an automatic stay of a money judgment, the court may, upon a showing of extraordinary circumstances, grant a stay which must be conditioned on posting bond, other conditions, or both. We decline to adopt either of the Committee’s alternative proposed amendments and choose instead to leave rule 9.310 as it is. We amend rule 9.420, Filing; Service of Copies; Computation of Time, as proposed. As currently written, rule 9.420(a)(2), Inmate Filing, provides that a document filed by “a pro se inmate confined in an institution” is presumed to have been filed on the date the inmate certifies that he or she placed the document in the hands of an institution official for mailing. As amended the rule provides that when the institution has a system designed for legal mail that records the date a document is placed in the hands of an institution official for mailing and the inmate uses that system, then the date of filing will be presumed to be the date recorded by the institution’s legal mail system. If the institution does not have a legal mail system that complies with the rule’s requirements, then the current presumption based on the inmate’s certificate of service is still applicable. The rest of the amendments are, for the most part, either technical corrections, clarifications, or reorganizations, or are necessary to conform language to current terminology or amended provisions in other rules, and need not be discussed further. Except for the matters discussed above, the Court adopts the amendments as proposed. We hereby amend the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure as shown in the appendix. New language is indicated by underlining; deleted language is shown using struck-through type. The Committee Notes are not adopted as parts of these rules but reflect the views of the Committee only. The amended rules shall take effect at 12:02 a.m. on January 1, 2015. It is so ordered. LABARGA, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur. APPENDIX RULE 9.020.

Unless otherwise specifically ordered, the judge or lower, tribunal has no obligation to file a response. The judge or lower tribunal retains the discretion to file a separate response should the judge or lower tribunal choose to do so. The absence of a separate response by the judge or lower tribunal shall not be deemed to admit the allegations of the petition. (f)-(g) [No Change] (h) Order to Show Cause. If the petition demonstrates a preliminary basis for relief, a departure from the essential requirements of law that will cause material injury for which there is no adequate remedy by appeal, or that review of final administrative action would not provide an adequate remedy, the court may issue an order either directing the respondent to show cause, within the time set by the court, why relief should not be granted or directing the respondent to otherwise file, within the time set by the court, a response to the petition. In prohibition proceedings, the issuance of an such orders directing the respondent to show cause shall stay further proceedings in the lower tribunal. (i)-(I) [No Change] *251 Committee Notes [No Change] Court Commentary [No Change] RULE 9.110. APPEAL PROCEEDINGS TO REVIEW FINAL ORDERS OF LOWER TRIBUNALS AND ORDERS GRANTING NEW TRIAL IN JURY AND NON-JURY CASES (a) [No Change] (b) Commencement. Jurisdiction of the court under this rule shall be invoked by filing a notice, accompanied by any filing fees prescribed by law, with the clerk of the lower tribunal within 30 days of rendition of the order to be reviewed, except as provided in rule 9.140(c)(3). (c)-(j) [No Change] (k) Review of Partial Final Judgments. Except as otherwise provided herein, partial final judgments are reviewable either on appeal from the partial final judgment or on appeal from the final judgment in the entire case. A partial final judgment, other than one that disposes of an entire case as to any party, is one that disposes of a separate and distinct cause- of action that is not interdependent with other pleaded claims. If a partial final judgment totally disposes of an entire case as to any party, it must be appealed within 30 days of rendition. (l) Premature Appeals. Except as provided in rule 9.020(i), lif a notice of appeal is filed before rendition of a final order, the appeal shall be subject to dismissal as premature. However, the lower tribunal retains jurisdiction to render a final order, and if a final order is rendered before dismissal of the premature appeal, the premature notice of appeal shall be considered 'effective to vest jurisdiction in the court to review the final order. Before dismissal, the court in its discretion may permit the-lower tribunal to-render grant the parties additional time to obtain a final order from the lower tribunal.

The amendment to subdivision (l) is intended to clarify that it is neither necessary nor appropriate to request a relinquishment of .jurisdiction from the court to enable the lower tribunal to render a final order. Subdivision (n) has been moved to rule 9,147. Court Commentary [No Change] RULE 9.130. PROCEEDINGS TO REVIEW NON-FINAL ORDERS AND SPECIFIED FINAL ORDERS (a) Applicability. (l)-(2) [No Change] (3)Appeals to the district courts of appeal of non-final orders are limited to those that (A)-(B) [No Change] (C) determine (i)-(ii) [No Change] (iii) the right to immediate monetary-relief or child custody in family law matters*; a. the right to immediate monetary relief; b. the rights or obligations of a party regarding child custody or time-sharing under a parenting plan; or c. that a marital agreement is invalid in its entirety; (iv)-(v) [No Change] (vi) that a class should-be certified whether to certify a class; (vii)-(ix) [No Change] (D) [No Change] (4) Non-final oOrders entered after-final order on disposing of motions that suspend rendition are not reviewable separately from a review of the final order; provided that orders granting motions for new trial in jury and non-jury cases are reviewable by the method prescribed in rule 9.110. Other non-final orders entered after-final-order on authorized motions are-reviewable by-the method prescribed by this rule-. (5) [No Change] (-6) Orders-that deny motions to certi- ■ iy-a class-may be reviewed-by-the method prescribed byth-is-rule? (b) Commencement. The-jJurisdiction of the court under to seek review of orders described in subdivisions (a)(3)-(a)(65) of this rule shall be invoked by filing a notice, accompanied by any filing fees prescribed by law, with the clerk of the lower tribunal within 30 days of rendition of the order to be reviewed. (c)-(e) [No Change] (f) Stay of Proceedings. In the absence of a stay, during the pendency of a review of a non-final order, the lower tribunal may proceed with all matters, including trial or final hearing*, provided except that the lower tribunal may not render a final order disposing of the cause pending such review absent leave of the court. (g) Cross-Appeal. An appellee may cross-appeal the order or orders designated by the appellant, to review any ruling described in subdivisions (a)(3) — (a)(5), by serving a notice within 10 days of service of the appellant’s timely filed notice of appeal or within the time prescribed for filing a notice of appeal, whichever is later. A notice of cross-appeal, accompanied by any filing fees prescribed by law, shall be filed either before service or immediately *253 thereafter in the same manner as the notice of appeal. (gh) Review on Full Appeal. This rule shall not preclude initial review of a non-final order on appeal from the final order in the cause. (hi) Scope of Review. Multiple non-final orders that are listed in rule 9.130(a)(3) may be reviewed by a single notice if the notice is timely filed as to each such order. Committee Notes 1977-2008 Amendments [No Change] 2014 Amendment. Subdivision (a)(4) has been amended to clarify that an order disposing of a motion that suspends rendition is reviewable, but only in conjunction with, and as a part of, the review of the final order. Additionally, the following sentence has been deleted from subdivision (a)(4): “Other non-final orders entered after final order on authorized motions are reviewable by the method prescribed by this rule.” Its deletion clarifies that non-final orders entered after a final order are no more or less reviewable than the same type of order would be if issued before a final order. Non-final orders entered after a final order remain reviewable as part of a subsequent final order or as otherwise provided by statute or court rule. This amendment resolves conflict over the language being stricken and the different approaches to review during post-decretal proceedings that have resulted. See, e.g., Tubero v. Ellis, 469 So.2d 206 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985) (Hurley, J., dissenting). This amendment also cures the mistaken reference in the original 1977 committee note to “orders granting motions to vacate default” as examples of non-final orders intended for review under the stricken sentence. An order vacating a default is generally not reviewable absent a final default judgment. See, e.g., Howard v. McAuley, 436 So.2d 392 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983). Orders vacating final default .judgments remain reviewable under rule 9.130(a)(5). Essentially, this amendment will delay some courts’ review of some non-final orders entered after a final order until rendition of another, subsequent final order. But the amendment is not intended to alter the Court’s ultimate authority to review any order. RULE 9.140. APPEAL PROCEEDINGS IN CRIMINAL CASES (a)-(c) [No Change] (d) Withdrawal of Defense Counsel after Judgment and Sentence or after Appeal by State. (1) The attorney of record for a defendant in a criminal proceeding shall not be relieved of any professional duties, or be permitted to withdraw as defense counsel of record, except with approval of the lower tribunal on good cause shown on written motion, until either the time has expired for filing an authorized notice of appeal and no such notice has been filed by the defendant or the state, or after the following have been completed: (A)-(D) [No Change] (E) in publicly funded defense and state appeals, when the lower tribunal has entered an order appointing the office of the public defender for the local circuit, the district office of criminal conflict and civil regional counsel, or private counsel as provided by chapter 27, Florida Statutes, that office, or attorney shall remain counsel for the appeal until the record is electronically transmitted to the appellate court. In publicly funded state appeals, defense counsel shall additionally file with the appellate court a copy of the lower tribunal’s order appoint *254 -ing the local public defender, the of- . fice of criminal conflict and civil .regional counsel, or private counsel. In non-publicly funded defense and state appeals, retained appellate counsel shall file a notice of appearance in the appellate court, or defense counsel of record shall file a motion to withdraw in the appellate court, with service on the defendant, that states what the defendant’s legal representation on appeal, if any, is expected to be. Documents filed in the appellate court shall be served on the attorney general (or state attorney in appeals to the circuit court). (2) [No Change] (e) [No Change] (f) Record. (1) Service.

If the designated transcripts have not been filed by the date required for service of the record, the clerk shall file with the .appellate court, and serve on all parties and any court reporter whose transcript has not been filed, a notice of inability to complete the record, listing the transcripts not yet received. In cases where the transcripts are filed after a notice from the clerk, the clerk shall prepare and file the record within 20 days of receipt of the transcripts. An order granting an extension to the court reporter to transcribe designated proceedings shall toll the time for the clerk to serve this notice or the record on appeal. (2)-(5) [No Change] (6) Supplemental Record for Motion to Correct Sentencing Error Pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2). (A) The clerk of circuit court shall automatically supplement' the appellate record with any motion pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2), any response, any resulting order, and any amended sentence. The clerk shall electronically transmit the supplement to the appellate court within 5 days of the filing of the order ruling on the motion. If an order is not filed within 60 days from the filing of the motion, this time shall run from the expiration of the 60 day period, and the clerk shall supplement the record with the motion and a statement that no order was timely filed. (B) If any appellate counsel determines that a transcript of a proceeding relating to such a motion is required to review the sentencing issue, appellate counsel shall, within 5 days from the transmittal of the supplement described in subdivision (A), designate those portions of the proceedings not on file deemed necessary for transcription and inclusion in the record. A copy of the designation shall be filed with the appellate court. The procedure for this supplementation shall be in accordance with this subdivision, except that counsel is not required to file a revised statement of judicial acts to be reviewed, the approved court reporter or approved transcriptionist shall deliver the transcript within 15 days, and the clerk shall supplement'the record with the transcript within 5 days of its receipt.
