Third District Court of Appeal State of Florida Opinion filed January 22, 2020. ________________ No. 3D19-1248 Lower Tribunal No. 18-7414 ________________ Louis Caprio, et al., Petitioners, vs. Blanca Ledy Castro, Respondent. A Writ of Certiorari to the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Daryl E. Trawick, Judge. Matthew Seth Sarelson, for petitioners. Billbrough & Marks, P.A., and G. Bart Billbrough, for respondent. Before EMAS, C.J., and SCALES and LOBREE, JJ. ON CONFESSION OF ERROR PER CURIAM. Petitioners filed the instant petition seeking certiorari review of the trial court’s May 28, 2019 order that granted respondent’s motion for leave to file an amended complaint to add a claim for punitive damages. Respondent has confessed error, noting that the trial court failed to comply with the procedural requirements of Section 768.72 of the Florida Statutes. See Cat Cay Yacht Club, Inc. v. Diaz, 264 So. 3d 1071, 1074-75 (Fla. 3d DCA 2019). In light of respondent’s proper and commendable confession of error, we grant the petition and quash the trial court’s May 28, 2019 order. Petition granted; order quashed. 2
