SHEPHERD, J.
Appellant challenges the trial court’s entry of final summary judgment
in favor of appellee, as well as a separate order granting appellee’s motion
to tax costs. 	We affirm the order granting appellee’s motion to tax costs
and dismiss the appeal of the order granting final summary judgment. The
appeal 	of 	the 	order 	granting 	final 	summary 	judgment 	is 	not 	timely;
therefore, we lack jurisdiction to consider that appeal. 	See GEICO Gen.
Ins. Co. v. Williams, 111 So. 3d 240, 246 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013) (holding that
“a judgment on the merits of a suit is final and appealable even if it
reserves jurisdiction to later determine either party’s entitlement to an
attorneys’ fee award or the amount to be awarded”); Churchville v. Ocean
Grove R.V. Sales, Inc., 876 So. 2d 649, 651 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004) (“An
amendment or modification of an order or judgment in an immaterial,
insubstantial way does not restart the clock to file an appeal.”).
Affirmed in part and dismissed in part.
