    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Dec. 30, 2004.
    Rehearing Denied March 21, 2005.
    John Beranek of Ausley & McMullen, Tallahassee; Michael J. McGirney and Dale T. Golden of Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin, Tampa, for Appellants.

   PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Ware v. E. Louis Fields, PA, 477 So.2d 667 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985). The fee awards that are the subject of this appeal are not to be duplicated in the future in this class action, should the class members prevail, even if it is perceived that the work done for these fees ultimately benefitted the entire class, not just the original plaintiffs.

BENTON, PADOVANO and HAWKES, JJ., concur.
