    Thomas G. GRICE and Lilia Grice, Personal Representative of the Estate of Debbie Diane Grice, Appellants, v. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MADISON COUNTY, Florida, Appellee.
    No. XX-156.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    June 22, 1981.
    Rehearing Denied July 31, 1981.
    Wilmer H. Mitchell of Wilmer H. Mitchell, P. A., Pensacola, for appellants.
    Dominic M. Caparello of Messer, Rhodes, Vickers & Hart, Tallahassee, for appellee.
   ON MOTION TO DISMISS APPELLANTS’ NOTICE OF INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL AS BEING UNTIMELY FILED

PER CURIAM.

Having considered Appellee’s Motion to Dismiss Appellants’ Notice of Interlocutory Appeal as Being Untimely Filed and the responses thereto, the Court orders that the motion is denied. The Court finds that the July 1, 1980, order granting Appellee’s motion to dismiss and dismissing Appellants’ complaint for improper venue was a final order. See Schwertfeger v. Constant, 109 So.2d 173 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1959). Therefore, Appellants’ motion for rehearing and motion for relief from judgment tolled the time within which an appeal could be taken. Thus, Appellants’ notice was timely since it was filed within the appropriate time following the July 30, 1980, order disposing of Appellants’ motion for rehearing and motion for relief from judgment. Appellants’ Notice of Interlocutory Appeal shall be treated as a Notice of Appeal.

WENTWORTH and JOANOS, JJ., and WOODIE A. LILES (Ret.), Associate Judge, concur.
