An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, David C. Miller, Judge. Lower Tribunal No. 21-17934
Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, LLP, and Jeffrey R. Geldens and Janice Lopez, for appellant.
Delgado Vega, PLLC, and Daniel R. Vega and Alyssa N. Delgado, for appellee.
Before EMAS, SCALES and BOKOR, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Oliva’s Home Corp. ("Oliva’s"), the plaintiff below, appeals an order granting final summary judgment in favor of Deco Truss Co., the defendant below. Upon our de novo review, Volusia Cnty. v. Aberdeen at Ormond Beach, L.P., 760 So. 2d 126 (Fla. 2000), we find no error in the trial court’s entry of final summary judgment. See Citizens Prop. Ins. Corp. v. Zamanillo, 388 So.3d 912, 914 (Fla. 3d DCA Jan. 17, 2024) ("If the evidence [presented by the nonmovant] is merely colorable, or is not significantly probative, summary judgment may be granted.") (quoting In re Amends. to Fla. Rule of Civ. Proc. 1.510 , 309 So. 3d 192, 193 (Fla. 2020) (additional quotation omitted); see also Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 252, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986)). ("The mere existence of a scintilla of evidence in support of the plaintiff’s position will be insufficient; there must be evidence on which the jury could reasonably find for the plaintiff.")
Oliva’s filed a two-count complaint, alleging negligent misrepresentation and violation of Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act ("FDUTPA"), see section 501.201 et. seq., Florida Statutes (2021). On appeal, Oliva's does not challenge the entry of final summary judgment on the FDUTPA claim.
Affirmed.
