PER CURIAM
Affirmed. See Bunting v. Daly's, Inc., 528 So.2d 106, 107 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988) (rejecting the argument that under section 319.22(1), Florida Statutes (1985), a plaintiff did not have standing or a cause of action for conversion because he did not hold a title certificate in his name, because that statute only affects the marketability of title); Williams Mgmt. Enters., Inc. v. Buonauro, 489 So.2d 160, 164 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986) ("[R]eplevin is strictly a possessory action where the sole legal issue is the right of immediate possession, not ownership or title."); Southside Atl. Bank v. Lewis, 174 So.2d 470, 471 (Fla. 1st DCA 1965) ("The only issue to be determined in a replevin action is the right of possession. The question of title is secondary and unimportant where title and the right to immediate possession have been separated.").
