Wash v. Ferdinand

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED JOHN WASH, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D16-612 ROBERT L. FERDINAND, JR., SAMUEL HINES, LOOKING GOOD MANAGEMENT, INC. AND CRYSTAL SHARON, Appellees. __________________________________/ Opinion filed December 2, 2016 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Seminole County, Melanie Chase, Judge. Jennifer R. Dixon, Terry C. Young, and James S. Toscano, of Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster, Kantor & Reed, P.A., Orlando, for Appellant. Scott D. Clark, Mitchell E. Albaugh, and Christopher M. Hamilton, of Clark & Albaugh, LLP, Winter Park, for Appellee Robert L. Ferdinand, Jr. No appearance for other Appellees. EDWARDS, J. After careful consideration, we affirm the trial court’s rulings on all but one issue raised on appeal. Because the trial court erred by failing to apportion the award of attorney's fees between John Wash (“Appellant”) and his counsel, we remand the case to the trial court for entry of an amended order apportioning the fees between Appellant and his counsel as required by section 57.105, Florida Statutes (2014). AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART; AND REMANDED. SAWAYA and BERGER, JJ., concur. 2
