#### ALL-STAR INSURANCE CORPORATION et al., Appellants, v. SCANDIA, INC., et al., Appellees.

No. 76-2036.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Dec. 6, 1977.

Rehearing Denied Jan. 9, 1978.

George J. Baya, Miami, for appellants.

Gars & Dixon, Miami, for appellees.

Before HAYERFIELD, NATHAN and KEHOE, JJ.

*172KEHOE, Judge.

In this case, we are called upon to decide whether the attorneys’ fees awarded appel-lees’ counsel were reasonable. We have concluded that the trial judge exercised sound judicial discretion and assessed reasonable fees; therefore, the judgment appealed is affirmed.

In a prior appeal of the case *sub judice, All-Star Insurance Corporation v. Scandia, Inc.,*321 So.2d 575 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975), this court reversed a directed verdict for the sum of $135,000 entered by the trial court, setting aside a second jury verdict for the sum of $60,000, and reinstated the second jury verdict. Also, the trial court’s award of the sum of $30,000 for attorneys’ fees, in favor of appellee herein, was reversed and remanded with directions. The trial court was directed that appellees’ attorneys were entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees based upon established law considering, among other things, the amount of the judgment on the second jury verdict.

Subsequently, pursuant to our mandate, a hearing on the issue of attorneys’ fees was held with testimony, other evidence, and arguments being presented by appellants and appellees. Thereafter, the trial judge entered a final judgment awarding, *inter alia,*attorneys’ fees in the sum of $27,300 to appellees. From this part of the final judgment on mandate, appellants appeal. Appellants’ basic contention on appeal is that the award of attorneys’ fees was unreasonable in light of the final judgment on mandate, dated October 12,1976, entered by the trial court.

The award of attorneys’ fees is within the sound discretion of the trial judge and, in the absence of a clear showing of an abuse of such discretion, an appellate court will not substitute its judgment for that of the trial judge. See, e. g. *Krasner v. Krasner,*339 So.2d 674 (Fla. 3d DCA 1976); *Ruwitch v. First National Bank,*327 So.2d 833 (Fla. 3d DCA 1976); *Pennsylvania National Mutual Insurance Co. v. Doyon,*323 So.2d 677 (Fla. 3d DCA 1976); *Dade County v. Oolite Rock Co.,*311 So.2d 699 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975), and *Belman Hotel Corp. v. Maher,*170 So.2d 591 (Fla. 3d DCA 1965).

In the case *sub judice,*the trial judge, in light of our mandate issued in *All-Star Insurance Corporation v. Scandia, Inc.,*321 So.2d 575 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975), held an evidentiary hearing on the issue of attorneys’ fees, exercised his discretion, and awarded the sum of $27,300 to appellees. Appellants have demonstrated no clear showing of the abuse of this discretion; therefore, the judgment on mandate entered by the trial judge is affirmed.

Affirmed.

# TSP rules for hardship withdrawal relaxed for employees affected by recent natural disasters

/ Published Sept. 28, 2017

The Thrift Savings Plan has made a temporary change to allow participants affected by Hurricane Harvey or Hurricane Irma to make hardship withdrawals under certain circumstances.

The temporary rule change will treat any Financial Hardship In-Service Withdrawal Request as a qualifying hardship and will waive the rule prohibiting employee contributions for six months after taking a hardship withdrawal provided one of the following conditions applies:

The applicant’s primary residence or place of employment is located in a covered disaster area and has incurred a loss as a result of Hurricane Harvey or Hurricane Irma.

The hardship withdrawal will be used to assist an eligible family member who lives or works in a covered disaster area and who has incurred a loss as a result of Hurricane Harvey or Hurricane Irma.

Covered disaster areas for each event are defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Applicants must also meet all the following requirements:
      - Be actively employed as a federal civilian or a member of the uniformed services.
      - Complete Form TSP-76, Financial Hardship In-Service Withdrawal Request.
      - Write “Hurricane Harvey” or “Hurricane Irma” at the top of page 1 above the name of the form.
      - Check the “Personal Casualty Loss” box on page 2, Item 18 of your request form, as the reason for requesting financial hardship.    

Instructions for submitting the form to TSP via mail or fax are included on the form. Requests pertaining to Hurricane Harvey or Hurricane Irma must be received by the TSP by Jan. 24, 2018, and distribution must occur before Jan. 31, 2018. Any Financial Hardship In-Service Withdrawal Request forms received after Jan. 24, 2018, will be processed as a standard hardship withdrawal, and TSP contributions will automatically stop for six months.

Employees wishing to stop TSP contributions should complete Form TSP-1, (Form TSP-U-1 for uniformed services) or use your agency or service’s automated system.

This rule change is not retroactive and all other Form TSP-76 rules apply. Participants may only receive one hardship withdrawal under this change. Plan participants with questions about this change can call the toll-free ThriftLine at 1-877-968-3778. Outside the U.S. and Canada, please call 404-233-4400 (not toll free).
