DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA
FOURTH DISTRICT
MARK LAMET, M.D., P.A.,
Appellant/Cross-Appellee,
v.
FEINERMAN ANESTHESIA, P.A.,
Appellee/Cross-Appellant.
No. 4D2025-1818
[July 29, 2026]
Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit,
Broward County; William W. Haury, Jr., Judge; L.T. Case No.
062023CA014127AXXXCE.
Lawrence R. Metsch of Metschlaw, P.A., Hollywood, for
appellant/cross-appellee.
Dinah S. Stein of Hicks, Porter, & Stein, P.A., Miami, and M. Katherine
Hunter of Chimpoulis & Hunter, P.A., Plantation, for appellee/cross-
appellant.
LOTT, J.
Appellant sued Cross-Appellant for common law indemnification. The
trial court dismissed the claim without prejudice.
We do not pass on the trial court’s ruling; instead, we accept Cross-
Appellant’s alternative argument that the allegations in Appellant’s
complaint wholly fail to, and cannot, state a claim for common law
indemnification. See Zeiger Crane Rentals, Inc. v. Double A Indus., Inc., 16
So. 3d 907, 911 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009) (“In order for a common law indemnity
claim to stand, a two-pronged test must be satisfied: (1) the indemnitee
must be faultless and (2) the indemnitee’s liability must be solely vicarious
for the wrongdoing of another.” (citations omitted)).
Appellant does not address this argument at all in briefing.
Accordingly, we accept Cross-Appellant’s argument and remand with
instructions to dismiss the claim for common law indemnity with
prejudice.
We affirm without discussion as to all other matters raised in
Appellant’s appeal.
Vacated and remanded.
SHEPHERD, J., and COATES, JR., HOWARD K., Associate Judge, concur.
