    December 18, 2018
    BY ORDER OF THE COURT:
   As it appears that the proceedings in the circuit court relative to the petitioner's motion for postconviction relief are progressing, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied. Cf. Munn v. Fla. Parole Comm'n, 807 So. 2d 733 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002). This denial is without prejudice to the petitioner to file a new petition for writ of mandamus if the postconviction court has not entered a final order on the motion within 90 days of the date of this order, provided that the petitioner is unrepresented by counsel in the postconviction proceeding.

    MARK W. RICKARD, P.A. d/b/a Law Guard, and Werner Media Partners, LLC d/b/a Nature's Sleep, Appellants, v. NATURE'S SLEEP FACTORY DIRECT, LLC, Green Lives Here, LLC, and Steven D. Gordon, Appellees.
    No. 4D18-374
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    [October 31, 2018]
    Mark W. Rickard of Law Guard, Plantation, for appellants.
    Geoffrey D. Ittleman of the Law Offices of Geoffrey D. Ittleman, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellees.
   Forst, J.

Appellants Mark W. Rickard (d/b/a Law Guard) and Nature's Sleep ("NS") appeal the denial of their section 57.105(1)(b), Florida Statutes (2017) sanctions motion. That motion was premised on the failure of Appellees Green Lives Here ("GLH") and Steven D. Gordon ("Gordon") to withdraw their motion for prevailing party attorney's fees within the twenty-one-day safe harbor period. Concluding that the trial court acted in contravention of the statute, we reverse.

Background

NS, a supplier, sued Nature's Sleep Factory Direct, LLC ("NSFD"), GLH and Gordon, for breach of contract, misleading and false advertising, and defamation. The defendants filed an answer, affirmative defenses and a counterclaim. At the beginning of trial, NS announced a voluntary dismissal of its claims against Gordon and GLH ("Appellees").

In light of the voluntary dismissal, Appellees filed and served a motion for prevailing party attorney's fees, costs and expenses against the plaintiff, NS. The next business day, NS filed a response to Appellees' motion and also served, without filing, a motion for sanctions pursuant to section 57.105(1)(b). The motion addressed Appellees' failure to timely plead entitlement to attorney's fees, as required by Stockman v. Downs , 573 So.2d 835, 838 (Fla. 1991). Pursuant to section 57.105(4), Appellees were informed that they had twenty-one days to withdraw their attorney's fees motion. After the twenty-one-day safe harbor period expired with no withdrawal of the fees' motion, NS filed its sanctions motion, and a hearing was scheduled.

A few days before the hearing, and twenty-three days after the safe harbor period had expired, Appellees withdrew their motion for fees and costs.

At the hearing, Appellees' attorney conceded that the attorney's fees motion was meritless because it had not been timely pled. He explained he could not get approval to revoke the motion during the safe harbor period because Gordon (the sole officer of GLH) was out of the country at the time and unreachable.

At the hearing, the trial court stated that NS's request for fees of 4.65 hours at $450 an hour ($2,092.50) for analyzing Appellees' motion and drafting the 57.105 sanctions motion was "very reasonable." The trial judge stated that she "hate[s] these motions on a personal level," but also acknowledged that "the Appellate Courts look at these very strictly." The trial court subsequently rendered an order summarily denying NS's motion for sanctions.

Analysis

We review the trial court's denial of attorney's fees under section 57.105(1), Florida Statutes, for an abuse of discretion. Ferere v. Shure , 65 So.3d 1141, 1144 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011). To the extent the trial court's determination on a motion for attorney's fees is based on an issue of law, our standard of review is de novo. Id.

Paul v. Avrahami , 216 So.3d 647, 649 (Fla. 4th DCA 2017).

Section 57.105(1) provides for attorney's fees as sanctions for being forced to participate in frivolous litigation. In determining whether to award such fees, "[t]he [trial] court determines if the party or its counsel knew or should have known that the claim or defense asserted was not supported by the facts or an application of existing law." Blue Infiniti, LLC v. Wilson , 170 So.3d 136, 140 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015) (alterations in original) (quoting Asinmaz v. Semrau , 42 So.3d 955, 957 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010) ). Motions for attorney's fees count as "claims." See Albritton v. Ferrera , 913 So.2d 5, 9 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005).

Typically, a party seeking attorney's fees must specifically allege and request the award in the pleadings. Walker v. Cash Register Auto Ins. of Leon Cty., Inc. , 946 So.2d 66, 72 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006) (citing Stockman , 573 So.2d at 835 ). NS so advised Appellee's counsel when it notified him that his failure to request fees in his clients' pleadings rendered the post-dismissal motion for fees meritless. Thus, Appellees' counsel had no excuse for failing to withdraw the motion. See Paul , 216 So.3d at 651. However, Appellees' counsel failed to withdraw the meritless motion until well after the safe harbor period had passed, arguing that his "hands were tied" until he could consult with his client.

That Appellees withdrew their motion before the sanctions hearing (though after the twenty-one-day safe harbor period) did not "divest [the] trial court of jurisdiction to award sanctions under section 57.105." Heldt-Pope v. Thibault , 198 So.3d 650, 652 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015). And Appellees' attorney's unsworn statements about Gordon's absence from the country did not constitute evidence. See Brown v. Sch. Bd. of Palm Beach County , 855 So.2d 1267, 1269-70 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003) (reversing after a sanctions hearing was dominated by counsels' unsworn statements).

Moreover, the inability to reach one's client does not excuse an attorney from the requirement to withdraw a frivolous motion under section 57.105. As an officer of the court, Appellees' attorney had a duty to withdraw his admittedly nonmeritorious motion with or without his clients' permission. See R. Regulating Fla. Bar 4-3.1 ; see also De Vaux v. Westwood Baptist Church , 953 So.2d 677, 684 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007). Furthermore, the attorney, not the client, is the party responsible for the fees awarded under section 57.105(1)(b). See § 57.105(3)(c) ("[M]onetary sanctions may not be awarded ... [u]nder paragraph 1(b) against a represented party.").

Appellees did not dispute that their "attorney knew or should have known that [the] claim [for prevailing party attorney's fees] when initially presented to the court or at any time before trial ... [w]ould not be supported by the application of then-existing law to those material facts." § 57.105(1)(b). Accordingly, as NS timely and properly filed a motion in accordance with section 57.105(4), the trial court lacked discretion to deny this motion beyond the exceptions noted in section 57.105(3) (none of which are applicable here, other than 57.105(3)(c), as discussed above). The statute clearly states that in this situation, "the court shall award a reasonable attorney's fee ...." § 57.105(1) (emphasis added); see also Paul , 216 So.3d at 650 ; Martin Cty. Conservation All. v. Martin Cty. , 73 So.3d 856, 859 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011).

Conclusion

The trial court's failure to grant NS's motion for attorney's fees was in derogation of an express requirement of the statute. There is no exception for attorneys who feel restrained from dropping a claim which the attorney has come to understand is not legally supported because the attorney has not had an opportunity to consult with his client.

Because the trial court found that NS's request for fees was reasonable, we simply remand for entry of an award of $2,092.50 to NS.

Reversed and Remanded.

Since at least the time of King Solomon, judges have sought to apply a "wise and an understanding heart" to the problem of adults disagreeing over the future of a child. Here, a mother seeking to relocate with her child challenges the order of the circuit court granting relocation but imposing a visitation schedule not to her liking. We affirm, finding no abuse of discretion in the court's effort to balance the interests of the parents and their child.

The father serves in the Coast Guard and is stationed in California; the mother and child moved to Maryland while the divorce action was pending. After an 11-day trial, the original trial judge crafted a timesharing schedule that allowed the father to visit the child 12 times per year, with 10 visits in Maryland and two in California. This schedule anticipated that the father could work remotely at a Coast Guard base in Maryland during his timesharing.

Seven months after the dissolution final judgment, the mother petitioned to relocate to Charlotte, North Carolina. The mother proposed that the father's timesharing would take place in North Carolina instead of Maryland. The father objected to relocation, pointing out that the move to Charlotte would decrease his time with the child because the closest Coast Guard base to Charlotte is three hours away.

The circuit court held a two-day evidentiary hearing on the proposed relocation. After closing arguments, the court asked about a timesharing proposal the father had presented at the dissolution trial, where the bulk of the father's timesharing was to occur in California. The original trial judge rejected that option in favor of a timesharing arrangement centered in Maryland.

Counsel for the father had not discussed the California timesharing schedule with him in preparation for the relocation hearing. Counsel for the mother was familiar with that option, and did not think it was viable. She advised the court that the California timesharing schedule had been rejected by the original trial judge. She suggested adding some additional timesharing in California.

The judge clarified that he was asking whether the California option was considered. Counsel for the mother told the court:

No ... -- not exactly. [The prior circuit judge] did a very specific schedule and of course she made some presumptions that are no longer existing. We're saying the child doesn't need the speech and the other stuff and the other interventions. Obviously, I have to concede that that's an issue that might allow more time in California. The problem was, and it's still a concern, this is my client's concern, it's a very, very long trip .... [A]dding one more visit in California is a no brainer.

The judge said:

You see the thing with what [the prior circuit judge] found is that it was based on dad traveling to Maryland because that's where the mother was living. Now, what she found doesn't apply because the mother will not be living in Maryland.

After consulting with his client, counsel for the father told the court that the father could do the California timesharing schedule. He explained that there is a child development center on the base, and that six trips a year to California is more economical than twelve trips a year.

The court requested that each party submit a proposed order; the father's was to include a California timesharing schedule and the mother's was to clarify the vague Charlotte schedule she had offered.

Nearly six weeks after the hearing, the court entered the order on appeal. The order allowed the mother to relocate to Charlotte with the child "conditioned upon" all of the father's timesharing occurring in California. In the order, the court attempted to balance the mother's desire to further her career in Charlotte, the father's desire to spend significant time with his child, and the best interest of the child.

Although the mother is happy with the portion of the order allowing her to relocate, she is unhappy with the provisions dealing with the father's timesharing.

There is no due process violation. A relocation of a significant distance, such as this one, necessarily involves revisiting timesharing issues for the parent not seeking the move. Under section 61.13001(9), Florida Statutes (2017), if a trial court approves a parent's petition for relocation, the court has the discretion to adjust timesharing to ensure the child has "frequent, continuing, and meaningful contact with the nonrelocating parent ...." The trial judge broached the California option in open court and asked for input. Each party had adequate time to respond. Neither party asked to reopen the evidence or for a continuance of the trial to offer testimony addressed to the California option.

Contrary to the mother's argument, the focus in a relocation case is not on whether there is a substantial and material change in circumstances. "There is a clear distinction between modification based on changed circumstances under section 61.13(3) and relocation under section 61.13001 of the Florida Statutes." Fosshage v. Fosshage , 167 So.3d 525, 526 (Fla. 3d DCA 2015). The policies behind the modification based on changed circumstances test "are to honor the res judicata effect of the original final judgment ... and to preclude parties to a dissolution from continually disrupting the lives of children by initiating repeated custody disputes."

Knipe v. Knipe , 840 So.2d 335, 340 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted). Those policies do not apply to a relocation proceeding instituted in good faith. If one parent is relocating, the child's life will be disrupted and the goal in crafting the modified timesharing schedule is to ensure frequent, continuing, and meaningful contact between the nonrelocating parent and the child. The relocation statute anticipates that the court will modify the parties' timesharing schedule. See § 61.13001(3)(a) 6., (7)(c), Fla. Stat. (2017).

We have considered the other arguments raised and find them to be unpreserved or without legal merit.

Affirmed .

    STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Christopher MEYERS, Appellee.
    No. 4D18-10
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    [November 28, 2018]
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Kimberly T. Acñua, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Jason T. Forman of Law Offices of Jason T. Forman, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.
   Per Curiam.

The State appeals an order suppressing the results of a blood test conducted pursuant to a driving under the influence ("DUI") investigation. The trial court found that the officer requesting the blood draw did not comply with section 316.1932(1)(c) of the Florida Statutes, more commonly known as Florida's implied consent law. Because Appellee voluntarily consented to the blood draw, the provisions of the implied consent law did not apply. Accordingly, we quash the trial court's order and remand for further proceedings.

The police received a call from a driver who was following a vehicle that was driving erratically. The responding officer found the vehicle that matched the description and the license plate given by the caller. The vehicle was stopped on the sidewalk. When the officer approached the vehicle, the driver sped off and continued driving erratically. A chase ensued, culminating in the responding officer finding the vehicle crashed on a median and observing Appellee running from the vehicle. After detaining Appellee, emergency medical services ("EMS") was contacted to treat an injury Appellee sustained while attempting to flee on foot.

Before EMS arrived, Appellee admitted that he fled from police because he did not want to be arrested for DUI. A police report noted that Appellee was slurring his words, had red, bloodshot, watery eyes, and his breath smelled of alcohol. Thereafter, Appellee was arrested for reckless driving and transported by EMS to a nearby hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital, and without ascertaining how long Appellee would be hospitalized, the officer who accompanied Appellee to the hospital immediately requested a blood test. Appellee, alert and compliant, voluntarily consented. Because Appellee voluntarily consented to the blood test, the officer did not inform Appellee that the implied consent law requires submission only to a breath or urine test and that a blood test is offered only as an alternative.

Appellee moved to suppress the results of the blood test. The trial court granted the motion, finding that there was no evidence that the administration of a breath or urine test was impractical or impossible and that the officer failed to inform Appellee of Florida's implied consent law. This appeal follows.

In reviewing a trial court's order on a motion to suppress, this Court defers to the factual findings and reviews legal conclusions de novo. Luna v. State , 154 So.3d 1181, 1183 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015). Florida's implied consent law states, in pertinent part, that:

Any person who accepts the privilege extended by the laws of this state of operating a motor vehicle within this state is, by operating such vehicle, deemed to have given his or her consent to submit to an approved blood test for the purpose of determining the alcoholic content of the blood or a blood test for the purpose of determining the presence of chemical substances or controlled substances as provided in this section if there is reasonable cause to believe the person was driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic beverages or chemical or controlled substances and the person appears for treatment at a hospital, clinic, or other medical facility and the administration of a breath or urine test is impractical or impossible.

§ 316.1932(1)(c), Fla. Stat. (2015).

The Florida Supreme Court has explained, however, that if a defendant expressly consents to a blood test, "then the blood test falls wholly outside the scope of the implied consent law." Robertson v. State , 604 So.2d 783, 790 (Fla. 1992) (paraphrasing an analogous Iowa case and explaining that "[t]he same is true of Florida's implied consent law"); see also State v. Murray , 51 So.3d 593, 594-95 (Fla. 5th DCA 2011) (holding that because the implied consent law did not apply, the troopers were not required to inform the defendant of the provisions of implied consent). Here, because Appellee consented to the blood test and nothing in the record indicates that his consent was involuntary, the provisions of Florida's implied consent law did not apply. Accordingly, the trial court erred in suppressing the blood test results for failure to comply with the provisions of the implied consent law.

We therefore quash the order suppressing the blood test results and remand this case to the trial court for further proceedings.

    No. 4D18-2525
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    [November 28, 2018]
    Carla P. Lowry of Lowry at Law, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for petitioner.
    Richard F. Hussey of Richard F. Hussey, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for respondent.
   Per Curiam.

Petitioner seeks prohibition to quash an order of the trial court which determined that an attorney timely and properly perfected his charging lien in a dissolution of marriage action. We grant the petition and quash the order upon concluding that the trial court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the lien.

The attorney represented the former wife in a dissolution action. He was replaced after the trial court entered a final dissolution judgment and while the direct appeal of that judgment was pending. He then filed a notice of intention to impose and enforce a charging lien. The trial court issued a post-dissolution support and fee order, and that led to a second appeal. Once that appeal was resolved, counsel moved to adjudicate and impose his charging lien for work performed prior to the entry of the original final judgment. The trial court determined that it was timely. We grant relief for two reasons.

First, the attorney failed to file the notice of charging lien before the trial court issued the final judgment. Brody v. Broward Cty. Sheriff's Office , 137 So.3d 610, 611 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014) ("A trial court lacks jurisdiction to entertain a charging lien where it has not been timely perfected; that is, filed before the trial court lost jurisdiction through settlement, dismissal or final judgment."). Second, the judgment denied both parties' fee requests and therefore did not reserve jurisdiction to adjudicate fees. Compare Weiland v. Weiland, 814 So.2d 1252 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002)with Lutz v. Rutherford , 139 So.3d 501 (Fla. 2d DCA 2014), and Baker & Hostetler, LLP v. Swearingen , 998 So.2d 1158 (Fla. 5th DCA 2008).

Accordingly, we grant the petition for writ of prohibition and quash the trial court's order which determined counsel's charging lien was timely and properly perfected.
