MAY, J.

   This case comes to us upon remand from the Supreme Court of Florida.
Pratt v. Weiss, 161 So. 3d 1268 (Fla. 2015). We previously affirmed a trial
court order, in which the trial court found an offer of judgment complied
with the requirements of section 768.79, Florida Statutes (2004). The
supreme court has now quashed our decision and held that the offer failed
to comply with section 768.79 and rule 1.442 of the Florida Rules of Civil
Procedure. For the reasons expressed in the supreme court’s decision, we
now reverse the trial court order and remand the case for further
proceedings.

   Reversed and Remanded.
GROSS and DAMOORGIAN, JJ., concur.

                         *         *        *
  Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
