Oza B. Jenkins, Appellant, v. Motorola, Inc., et al., Appellees.
_
The trial court's December 13, 2010, order denying Oza B. Jenkins' request for payment, is affirmed.
Appellee's, Motorola, Inc., and Cingular, Inc., motion for sanctions pursuant to section 57.105, Florida Statutes, (2011), for filing a frivolous appeal is granted. We remand to the trial court for an award to Motorola, Inc. of its attorney fees and costs incurred on this appeal.

Sibley, 885 So.2d 980 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980). Motorola, Inc. is invited to respond within ten days thereafter.
