Affirmed. See Roark v. Peters, 242 So.2d 199, 201 (Fla. 1st DCA 1970) (affirming summary judgment finding relationship is one of independent contractor); Bassell v. Al Landers Dump Trucks, Inc., 148 So.2d 298, 299 (Fla. 3d DCA 1963) (finding no genuine issue of material fact as to the relationship between the two defendants and holding as a matter of law no employer-employee relationship existed).

Bay Vill., 911 So.2d 188, 189-90 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005) (holding that appellate review is confined to issues that were preserved with a sufficiently specific objection below).
