PER CURIAM.
We affirm the trial court’s order enforcing the settlement
agreement except for the trial court’s failure to apply the statutory
$100 deductible to the global settlement amount of $20,000. See §
631.57(1)(a)2., Fla. Stat. (2019). Based on Appellee’s confession of
error, we reverse and remand with directions that the trial court
order Appellant to pay $19,900 to Appellee.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED with
directions.
ROWE, C.J., and ROBERTS and JAY, JJ., concur.
