    An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Carlos
Guzman, Judge.

     Charles A. Tavares, in proper person.

      Damian & Valori, and Peter F. Valori and Markenson Pierre, for
appellee.

Before LOGUE, HENDON and GORDO, JJ.

     HENDON, J.
     We affirm the final order awarding attorney's fees and costs. The trial

court correctly applied the law in determining entitlement and properly

exercised its discretion in determining the reasonable attorney's fees and

costs to be awarded. Universal Beverages Holdings, Inc. v. Merkin, 902

So. 2d 288, 290 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005); Universal Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co. v.

Deshplande, 314 So. 3d 416 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020); Cornfeld v. Plaza of the

Americas Club, Inc., 306 So. 3d 1136 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020).

     Affirmed.
