BIRD LAKES DEVELOPMENT CORP., Appellant, v. Homero MERUELO, and Gesyl Developers Corp., Appellees.
    Nos. 92-59, 92-6 and 91-2646.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    June 22, 1993.
    Rehearing Denied Dec. 7, 1993.
    Holland & Knight, and Daniel S. Pearson, Lucinda A. Hofmann and Lenore C. Smith, Miami, for appellant.
    Fitzgerald, Charlip, Delgado, Befeler & Portuondo, and Joseph Portuondo, for appel-lee Homero Meruelo.
    Warren Jacobs and James C. Blecke, Miami, for appellee Gesyl Developers Corp.
    Before HUBBART, GERSTEN, and GODERICH, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Because a trial court may not award appellate attorney’s fees absent a mandate from the appellate court, Garcia v. Garcia, 570 So.2d 357 (Fla. 3d DCA1990), we reverse the trial court’s award of appellate attorney’s fees to appellee Gesyl’s attorney. Finding no merit in appellant’s other contentions, we affirm the judgment for attorney’s fees in all other respects.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part.
