Jerry L. HARVEY, Appellant, v. Otto John FISCHER, Appellee. Otto John FISCHER, Appellant, v. Jerry L. HARVEY, Appellee.
    Nos. 81-2550, 82-50.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Jan. 7, 1983.
    
      Richard Bernstein of Layne, Bernstein, Brenner & Freitag, P.A., Miami, for Jerry L. Harvey.
    James F. McCollum of McCollum & Rhoades, Sebring, for Otto John Fischer.
   PER CURIAM.

A claim for damages for wrongful attachment cannot be prosecuted by a counterclaim in the same suit in which the attachment was obtained. Calcagni v. Mamber, 262 So.2d 467 (Fla. 3d DCA 1971); Martin v. Martin, 196 So.2d 26 (Fla. 2d DCA 1967); Ritter v. Miami Marine Agency, Inc., 133 So.2d 107 (Fla. 3d DCA 1961).

Therefore, we reverse the determination of wrongful attachment without prejudice to appellee to seek relief in a new suit.

The judgment is affirmed in all other respects.

BOARDMAN, A.C.J., and GRIMES and SCHOONOVER, JJ., concur.
