PER CURIAM.
This cause is before us on complaint of The Florida Bar against Coastal Bonded Title Company, Gerald Ferguson and Virginia Tupps alleging unauthorized practice of law and praying that respondents be required to show cause why they should not be enjoined by this Court for the unauthorized practice of law, that permanent injunction issue preventing and restraining respondents from engaging in the acts complained of and from otherwise engaging in the practice of law in Florida, and that this Court grant such other relief as deemed appropriate.
Rule Nisi was issued requesting respondents to show cause why they should not be charged in contempt of this Court for the unauthorized practice of law.
After filing of the complaint with this Court and issuance by us of a Rule Nisi, The Florida Bar and respondents entered into the following Stipulation and Joint Motion:
The Stipulation and Joint Motion is hereby approved.
*564 Accordingly, it is ordered and adjudged that in accordance with the stipulation, Rule Nisi is discharged, adjudication of contempt is withheld, and respondents are permanently enjoined from engaging in the aforedescribed activities which are stipulated to constitute the unauthorized practice of law and from otherwise engaging in the practice of law in the State of Florida.
It is so ordered.
