Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the appealed order except for the portion awarding attorney fees to ap-pellees, which fee award we reverse.
The appealed order provided:
"2. The Motion for Attorneys Fees for Loeffler and Fox is hereby granted for costs and attorney's fees which have been incurred since June 1, 1978, that being the time when Florida Statute 57.105 became law."
It, as shown, contained no finding by the circuit court regarding a complete absence of justiciable issue. We reverse upon authority of Whitten v. Progressive Cas. Ins. Co., 410 So.2d 501 (Fla.1982) and Strothman v. Henderson Mental Health Center, Inc., 425 So.2d 1185 (Fla. 4th DCA, 1983).
Affirmed in part; reversed in part.
DOWNEY, DELL and WALDEN, JJ., concur.
