Bird Lakes Development Corp. v. Meruelo

PER CURIAM. Because a trial court may not award appellate attorney’s fees absent a mandate from the appellate court, Garcia v. Garcia, 570 So.2d 357 (Fla. 3d DCA1990), we reverse the trial court’s award of appellate attorney’s fees to appellee Gesyl’s attorney. Finding no merit in appellant’s other contentions, we affirm the judgment for attorney’s fees in all other respects. Affirmed in part, reversed in part.
