CITY OF MIAMI, Appellant, v. Gonzalo MIRANDA, Appellee.
    No. 98-2470.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    June 30, 1999.
    Alejandro Vilarello, City Attorney, and Linda Rice Chapman, and Myrna D. Bricker, Assistant City Attorneys, for appellant.
    Robles & Gonzalez, and Juan P. Bauta, II, Miami, for appellee.
    Before GERSTEN, FLETCHER, and SORONDO, JJ.
   ON MOTION TO REVERSE JUDGMENT

PER CURIAM.

Because the judgment entered in favor of Gonzalo Miranda (“Miranda”) was reversed on appeal, see City of Miami v. Miranda, 725 So.2d 1270 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999), Miranda is not the prevailing party in the instant action. Miranda, therefore, is not entitled to the attorney’s fees and costs awarded by the trial court. See City of Miami v. Del Rio, 723 So.2d 299 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998). Accordingly, the trial court’s award of such fees and costs in favor of Miranda is reversed.

Reversed.
