PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal of a non-final order occasioned by a fight among successive attorneys for fees which they claim to be due each of them from a client whose claim has been settled as to one defendant. The trial court ordered all settlement proceeds held in an interest bearing account until the claim against the remaining defendant was resolved but later released $50,000 of the $750,000 settlement amount for the client's benefit.
