Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
In this case, the procedural history, facts, and issues are summarized in our previous opinion in which we certified a dispositive question of state law to the Florida Supreme Court. Freeman v. First Union Nat'l, 329 F.3d 1231 (11th Cir.2003). Having received the response of the Florida Supreme Court, Lewis B. Freeman v. First Union Nat'l Bank, No. SC03-896, 2004 WL 178598, 865 So.2d 1272 (Fla. Jan.29, 2004), we affirm the district court's dismissal of Freeman and Martinez's aiding and abetting a fraudulent transfer claim for failure to state a cause of action under Florida's Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Fla. Stat. § 726.101 et seq. (2002), and remand for proceedings consistent with the Florida Supreme Court decision.
AFFIRMED.
