Summary: PER CURIAM . We dismiss Collier County's appeal of the circuit court's order granting Penny Phillippi entitlement to recover her attorney's fees, because the order reserved jurisdiction to determine the amount. See McIlveen v. McIlveen, 644 So.2d 612 , 612 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994) ("[A]n order which only determines the right to attorney's fees without setting the amount is a nonappealable, nonfinal order."). We affirm on all other issues raised in this appeal. See Collier Cty. v. Curry, 166 S
