    Stok Kon + Braverman, and Robert A. Stok, Joshua R. Kon and Yosef
Kudan (Fort Lauderdale), for appellant.

     PER CURIAM.
      Appellant Stok + Kon, P.A. appeals a December 6, 2022 final judgment

awarding statutory attorney’s fees and costs to appellee Miami-Dade

College. Notwithstanding appellee’s failure to plead entitlement to fees, we

affirm the trial court’s determination that the exception to the pleading

requirement established in Stockman v. Downs, 573 So. 2d 835 (Fla. 1991)

is applicable.

      Affirmed.
