JHAYLA STREADY, Appellant, v. FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES, Appellee.

No. 1D22-963

Decided: April 19, 2023

Adam A. Schwartzbaum, Adam Moskowitz, Howard Bushman, and Barbara Lewis of The Moskowitz Law Firm, Coral Gables; Douglas Eaton of Eaton & Wolk, PL, Miami, for Appellant. Janet R. Varnell of Varnell & Warwick, P.A., Tampa, for Amicus Curiae National Association of Consumer Advocates, for Appellant. Robert J. Sniffen and Jeffrey D. Slanker of Sniffen & Spellman, P.A., Tallahassee, for Appellee.

AFFIRMED. See Univ. of Fla. Bd. of Trs. v. Rojas, 351 So. 3d 1167, 1169–72 (Fla. 1st DCA 2022) (holding that sovereign immunity barred the breach of contract claim, which was based on the University's failure to offer on-campus services or to refund related fees for semesters while its on-campus facilities were closed due to COVID-19, because the documents attached to the complaint did not constitute an express written contract where they did not contain any language obligating the University to provide specific, on-campus services during any specific time or to refund fees when any such services were paused, limited, or cancelled).

PER CURIAM.

LEWIS, BILBREY, and KELSEY, JJ., concur.
