PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Partridge v. Nationstar Mortg., LLC, 224 So. 3d 839 (Fla.
2d DCA 2017) (holding that mortgage loan servicer’s unilateral decision to
leave original note and mortgage with trial court did not establish standing
to foreclose, where original note was filed with trial court long before
servicer commenced foreclosure action). In light of this disposition, we
need not reach the issue raised on cross-appeal.
WARNER, GROSS and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
