Charles E. Githler, III, and Githler Development, Inc., appeal the trial
court's final order granting attorney's fees and costs to Philip J. Grande, Marta A.
Grande, and Spot Link, LLC, as prevailing parties in the underlying litigation. Because
this court reversed a portion of the final judgment in Case No. 2D17-4963, we reverse
the fee order and remand for further proceedings.
Reversed and remanded.
