From the Mockito FAQ:

What are the limitations of Mockito

• Cannot mock final methods - their real behavior is executed without any exception. Mockito cannot warn you about mocking final methods so be vigilant.

There is no support for mocking final methods in Mockito.

As Jon Skeet commented you should be looking for a way to avoid the dependency on the final method. That said, there are some ways out through bytecode manipulation (e.g. with PowerMock)

A comparison between Mockito and PowerMock will explain things in detail.
