District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

AMERICAN COASTAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellant, v. SAN MARCO VILLAS CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC., Appellee.

Case No. 2D20-2646

Decided: May 12, 2021

Patrick E. Betar, William S. Berk, and Illon R. Kantro of Berk, Merchant & Sims, PLC, for Appellant. John H. Pelzer of Greenspoon Marder LLP, Fort Lauderdale; and Jeremy F. Tyler and Andy Fuxa of Geyer, Fuxa & Tyler, Sunrise, for Appellee.

We have determined that we are bound by previous opinions from this court, and we therefore affirm. See Am. Cap. Assurance Corp. v. Leeward Bay at Tarpon Bay Condo. Ass'n, 306 So. 3d 1238 (Fla. 2d DCA 2020), review granted, SC20-1766, 2021 WL 416684 (Fla. Feb. 8, 2021); see also Am. Cap. Assurance Corp. v. Cayman I at Tarpon Bay Condo. Ass'n, 313 So.3d 847 (Fla. 2d DCA Jan. 22, 2021); Villagio at Estero Condo. Ass'n v. Am. Cap. Assurance Corp., ––– So. 3d ––––, 46 Fla. L. Weekly D193 (Fla. 2d DCA Jan. 20, 2021). As this court did in Leeward Bay and Cayman I, we certify conflict with Citizens Property Insurance Corp. v. Demetrescu, 137 So. 3d 500 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014), Citizens Property Insurance Corp. v. Michigan Condominium Ass'n, 46 So. 3d 177 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010), and Sunshine State Insurance Co. v. Corridori, 28 So. 3d 129 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010).

Affirmed; conflict certified.

PER CURIAM.
