GERBER, J.
The plaintiff appeals the circuit court's order granting the defendants' motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff raises several arguments, only one of which merits a brief discussion. The plaintiff argues that the order disposed of only its claims for declaratory judgment and failed to address its claims for injunctive relief. We conclude that the court's findings of fact and conclusions of law supporting the disposition of the claims for declaratory judgment —that there is no justiciable controversy—also showed without genuine issue of material fact that the plaintiff does not have a clear legal right to the relief requested in the claims for injunctive relief. See Gomez v. Fradin, 41 So.3d 1068, 1071 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010) (“A party seeking an injunction under general Florida case law must demonstrate: 1) irreparable harm; 2) a clear legal right; 3) an inadequate remedy at law; [and] 4) consideration of the public interest.”) (citation and quotations omitted). Therefore, we affirm the circuit court's order granting the defendant's motion for summary judgment to the extent it subsumes both the claims for declaratory judgment and the claims for injunctive relief.
Affirmed.
