MARTIN-JOHNSON, INC., Petitioner, v. Tommie SAVAGE, Respondent.
    No. BM-150.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    April 28, 1986.
    On Rehearing May 22, 1986.
    Gordon D. Cherr, Karl McConnaughhay, Roland, Maida & Beal, P.A., Tallahassee, for petitioner.
    J. Nixon Daniel, III, Pensacola, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

Because petitioner will have an adequate remedy by appeal of a final order, the petition for writ of certiorari, seeking review of an order denying petitioner’s motion to strike respondent’s claim for punitive damages, is denied. Contra Sunrise Olds-Toyota, Inc. v. Monroe, 476 So.2d 240 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985); Jaimot v. Media Leasing Corp., 457 So.2d 529 (Fla. 5th DCA 1984).

ERVIN, WENTWORTH and JOANOS, JJ., concur.

Monroe, 476 So.2d 240 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985), and Jaimot v. Media Leasing Corp., 457 So.2d 529 (Fla. 5th DCA 1984).

ERVIN, WENTWORTH and JOANOS, JJ., concur.
