Mary Jane ROTONDO, Appellant, v. Dr. Leon N. GREENE et al., Appellees.
    No. 76-1994.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    March 15, 1977.
    Hunter, Atkinson & Golden and Stephen F. Bacen, Hollywood, for appellant.
    Magill & Sevier and Victor H. Womack, Miami, for appellees.
    Before HENDRY, C. J., BARKDULL, J., and CHARLES CARROLL (Ret.), Associate Judge.
   PER CURIAM.

This appeal presents the question of whether, on a motion for costs filed by a defendant who has been voluntarily dismissed from an action for damages for personal injuries, it is proper for the court to include, in the costs allowed, the dismissed defendants’ attorney’s fee as was done in this case. The ruling of the trial court charging the plaintiff with said defendants’ attorney’s fee as costs is hereby reversed on the authority of Campbell v. Maze, 339 So.2d 202 (Fla.1976), recently decided by the Supreme Court of Florida. It is so ordered.
