ROWSEY v. BOARD OF REGENTS THROUGH UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA BOARD OF TRUSTEES (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

J. James ROWSEY, M.D., Appellant, v. BOARD OF REGENTS of the State of Florida, THROUGH Its Successor in Interest, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA BOARD OF TRUSTEES, Appellee.

No. 2D19-3837

Decided: July 16, 2021

Kevin C. Ambler of Ambler Law Group, Tampa; and Mark S. Howard of Mark S. Howard, P.A., Tampa, for Appellant. Peter W. Zinober and Vanessa A. Patel of Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C., Tampa, for Appellee.

Dr. J. James Rowsey, the prevailing plaintiff in a breach of contract action, appeals from an order granting in part and denying in part his motion for prejudgment interest related to the damages awarded to him in that case. Because this court reversed the final judgment entered in favor of Dr. Rowsey in Board of Regents v. Rowsey, 320 So.3d 954 (Fla. 2d DCA May 26, 2021), the issue presented in the instant appeal has become moot. See Rouhani v. Superior Fence & Rail of Pinellas Cnty., Inc., 268 So. 3d 130 (Fla. 2d DCA 2019). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed as moot.

Dismissed.

PER CURIAM.

VILLANTI, ROTHSTEIN-YOUAKIM, and SMITH, JJ., Concur.
