                             [March 6, 2024]

   Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit,
Broward County; Jeffrey R. Levenson, Judge; L.T. Case No.
CACE22008935.

  Joseph Brien of The People’s Advocate, PLLC, Hallandale Beach, for
appellant.

  Adam J. Wick of Liebler Gonzalez & Portuondo, Miami, for appellee
Bank of America, N.A.

  Albert A. Zakarian of Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP, Atlanta,
GA, for appellee Nationstar Mortgage, LLC d/b/a Mr. Cooper.

PER CURIAM.

    George Castro appeals the circuit court’s order dismissing his
complaint with prejudice. The circuit court relied on multiple grounds
when it dismissed the complaint. We agree with Castro that the circuit
court ventured outside the four corners of the complaint when it dismissed
the complaint on certain of those grounds. But the circuit court did not
need to look outside the four corners of the complaint when it dismissed
based on the statute of limitations. Because it was evident from the face
of the complaint that the statute of limitations had run, the circuit court
properly dismissed the complaint.

   Affirmed.

WARNER, CIKLIN and KUNTZ, JJ., concur.
                     *        *        *

Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
