Crestview Hospital Corporation, Inc., d/b/a North Okaloosa Medical Center and David Fuller, Appellants, v. Coastal Anesthesia, P.A. and Michael P. Ederer, D.O., Appellees. (2017)

Crestview Hospital Corporation, Inc., d/b/a North Okaloosa Medical Center and David Fuller, Appellants, v. Coastal Anesthesia, P.A. and Michael P. Ederer, D.O., Appellees.

CASE NO. 1D16–1182

Decided: February 07, 2017

Marc James Ayers of Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, Birmingham, AL; William K. Thames of Vernis & Bowling of Northwest Florida, P.A., Pensacola, for Appellants. Jason W. Peterson and James R. Green of Clark, Partington, Hart, Larry, Bond & Stackhouse, Pensacola; Louis K. Rosenbloum of Louis K. Rosenbloum, P.A., Pensacola; David R. Swanick, III of Powell & Swanick, Niceville, for Appellees.

Because appellants have prevailed in the main appeal from the final judgment in Crestview Hospital Corporation v. Coastal Anesthesia P.A., 203 So.3d 978 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016), the trial court's award of attorney's fees and costs in appellee's favor must also be reversed. See Marty v. Bainter, 727 So.2d 1124, 1125 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999) (“[A]n award of attorney's fees and costs predicated on a reversed or vacated final judgment also must be reversed.”).

Appellee's motion for appellate attorney's fees is denied.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

PER CURIAM.

ROWE, RAY, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., CONCUR.
