  Appeal from the County Court for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, St.
Lucie County; Edmond W. Alonzo, III, Judge; L.T. Case No.
2015CC001539C4.

  Peter Mineo, Jr., of The Mineo Salcedo Law Firm, PA, Davie, for
appellant.

  Elizabeth K. Russo and Paulo R. Lima of Russo Appellate Firm, P.A.,
Miami, for appellees.

PER CURIAM.

   We affirm the trial court’s order granting fees pursuant to section
57.105, Florida Statutes (2015). We conclude that the appellant did not
object to or try to cure any insufficiency in the motion itself, and the court
did not abuse its discretion in determining both that the requirements of
section 57.105 were met and the amount of attorney’s fees.

   Affirmed.

KLINGENSMITH, C.J., and GERBER, J., concur.
WARNER, J., dissents with opinion.

WARNER, J., dissenting.

   I would find that the motion was insufficient pursuant to section
57.105.
