Opinion
No. 2D05-3270.
December 20, 2006.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Pinellas County; Anthony Rondolino, Judge.
William J. Capito of Law Offices of William J. Capito, Lutz, for Appellant.
Scot E. Samis and Jeffrey M. Adams of Abbey, Adams, Byelick, Kiernan, Mueller Lancaster, L.L.P., St. Petersburg, for Appellee.
Sandra Frosti appeals the trial court's order entered after final judgment which denied her motion for attorney's fees and costs pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.442 and section 768.79(1), Florida Statutes (1995), because her proposals for settlement had been filed prematurely. We affirm. See Bottcher v. Walsh, 834 So.2d 183 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002). In Mills v. Martinez, 909 So.2d 340, 344 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005), the Fifth District certified conflict with Bottcher; accordingly, we certify conflict with Mills.
Affirmed; conflict certified.
NORTHCUTT and SILBERMAN, JJ., concur.
