Opinion:
SALCINES, Judge.
Sandra Frosti appeals the trial court's order entered after final judgment which denied her motion for attorney's fees and costs pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.442 and section 768.79(1), Florida Statutes (1995), because her pro- posáis for settlement had been filed prematurely. We affirm. See Bottcher v. Walsh, 834 So.2d 183 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002). In Mills v. Martinez, 909 So.2d 340, 344 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005), the Fifth District certified conflict with Bottcher; accordingly, we certify conflict with Mills.
Affirmed; conflict certified.
NORTHCUTT and SILBERMAN, JJ., concur.
