Irving BUNIS, Appellant, v. NORTH BAY VILLAGE JEWISH CENTER, INC., Appellee.
    No. 94-1287.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Sept. 27, 1995.
    Rehearing Denied Nov. 1, 1995.
    Mandina & Ginsberg, Miami, for appellant.
    No appearance for appellee.
    Before NESBITT, BASKIN and GREEN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

That portion of the final order which awarded attorney’s fees to Gabriel Nash-Tessler must be reversed for failure of any pleading ever filed on her behalf to make such a claim or request. Stockman v. Downs, 573 So.2d 835 (Fla.1991). Because the same order otherwise made explicit findings that Ms. Nash-Tessler acted utterly without foundation or legal authority in bringing the action, it follows that she was not the prevailing party and was not entitled to reimbursement for costs.

Reversed.
