An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Michael A.

Law Offices of Alan Goldfarb, P.A., and Alan Goldfarb, and David C.
Appleby, for appellants.

Before LOGUE, SCALES and HENDON, JJ.
HENDON, J.
Save Grove Isle, LLC, et al. (“SGI”) appeals from an order dismissing
with prejudice its third amended complaint against Grove Isle Associates,
LLLP and The City of Miami; and, alternatively, the order dismissing without
prejudice SGI’s counts against The City of Miami based on SGI’s failure to
exhaust administrative remedies. Based on our de novo review of the record,
the extensive litigation history and our prior rulings, 1 we conclude SGI’s
arguments are without merit and affirm the dismissal with prejudice as to
Grove Isle Associates, LLLP. We affirm the trial court’s alternative dismissal
without prejudice as to The City of Miami. See City of South Miami v.
Meenan, 581 So. 2d 228, 228 (Fla. 3d DCA 1991); S. A. Healy Co. v. Town
of Highland Beach, 355 So. 2d 813, 815 (Fla. 4th DCA 1978).
Affirmed.
