No. 74-1567.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from an order dismissing with prejudice the second cause of action in a two-count complaint. Under the second count, the appellant sought to bring a derivative claim against the Farmers Reliance Insurance Company of New Jersey, insurer, and Jerome Wright, a minor son of the appellant, for injuries sustained by another son, James Elson Wright, by reason of the negligence of his brother, Jerome.
The sole point on appeal is whether a father can maintain a derivative action against his unemancipated minor son and his insurer for loss of services and medical expenses incurred as a result of injuries sustained by another unemancipated son.
We hold that he cannot. See, Orefice v. Albert, Fla. 1970, 237 So.2d 142; Meehan v. Meehan, Fla.App. 1961, 133 So.2d 776.
Affirmed.
