Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. The conversion, by transfer, of a mechanics lien to a surety bond undertaken pursuant to section 713.24, Florida Statutes, restricts the recovery from the bond of costs, including an attorney's fee, to $100.00. Symons Corporation v. Tartan-Lavers Delray Beach, Inc., 456 So.2d 1254 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984). Section 713.24 does not, however, bar seeking an unsecured award of an attorney's fee in excess of the statutory limit. Id.
CAMPBELL, A.C.J., and FRANK and HALL, JJ., concur.
