    No. 1D17-1529
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    June 7, 2019
    Michael Ufferman, Michael Ufferman Law Firm, P.A., Tallahassee, for Appellant.
    Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Amanda D. Stokes, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   Per Curiam.

We affirm the judgment and sentence and write to address (a) Appellant's claim that his motion for transfer to a pre-trial treatment-based program should have been granted, and (b) errors on the judgment and in the sentencing scoresheet.

Appellant, who was diagnosed with a substance abuse problem and had no prior criminal convictions, was charged with three counts: trafficking in a controlled substance; possession of a controlled substance; and possession of paraphernalia. He moved to transfer his case to a pre-trial treatment-based program, but the trial judge denied relief. A trial court's decision to grant entry into a pretrial treatment-based program is discretionary. See § 397.334(2), Fla. Stat. (2019) (A "court may order an individual to enter into a pretrial treatment-based drug court program ....") (emphasis added).

Appellant makes two arguments, first that he was eligible for the pre-trial treatment-based program notwithstanding a local administrative order to the contrary, and second that the trial judge erred in denying his motion.

As to the former, Appellant correctly points out that he is eligible under the applicable statute, which states that "a person who is charged with a nonviolent felony and is identified as having a substance abuse problem" is "eligible for voluntary admission into a pretrial substance abuse education and treatment intervention program" upon motion of a party or the court. § 948.08(6)(a), Fla. Stat. (2019) (specifying two exceptions not applicable here). For purposes of subsection (6)(a), the "term 'nonviolent felony' means a third degree felony violation of chapter 810 or any other felony offense that is not a forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08 ." Id. (emphasis added). Because the felony trafficking charge against him is not a "forcible felony as defined in s. 776.08," the charge against him is considered a "nonviolent felony" for purposes of the transfer statute.

Despite his eligibility for a pre-trial treatment-based program, the trial judge expressed hesitation in considering Appellant's request because an administrative order of the Second Judicial Circuit provides that:

2. Defendants whose offenses occurred on or after October 1, 1997, shall be eligible to participate in such program if they are charged with a second or third degree drug purchase/possession offense under Chapter 893 in accordance with the criteria of Section 948.08(6), Florida Statutes. Participants must not have any pending felony cases or be on active Department of Corrections supervision.

Admin. Order No. 1997-12 (Fla. 2d Cir. Ct. Oct. 7, 1997) (emphasis added). Appellant was charged with a first degree felony (the trafficking charge), which disqualified him under the administrative order that allows participation for only those charged with a second or third degree offense. The administrative order, however, conflicts with section 948.08(6)(a), Florida Statutes, which extends eligibility to a "nonviolent felony," whose applicable statutory definition includes the charge against Appellant. For that reason, Appellant is correct that his case was eligible for possible transfer to the pre-trial treatment-based program notwithstanding the administrative order. Cf. Gincley v. State , 267 So.3d 444 (Fla. 4th DCA 2019) (quashing a circuit court administrative order that conflicted with section 948.08(6) ).

Though Appellant was eligible under section 948.8(6), the trial court's denial of his motion was not an abuse of discretion. Transfers to pre-trial treatment-based programs are discretionary, not mandatory, placing the decision in the hands of trial judges who are in the best position to assess whether defendants are suited for available programs (which do not have unlimited capacity). Here, Appellant did not file his motion seeking transfer until shortly before trial, almost three years after the filing of charges against him. The trial judge expressed that if he had the ability to grant relief, he was disinclined to do so at such a late stage of the case. Though there is no time restriction placed on when a motion seeking transfer may be made, the lateness of Appellant's motion, on the eve of trial, provides a reasonable basis for denying relief upon which the trial judge relied.

Next, the trial court imposed a $ 65 cost pursuant to section 939.185, Florida Statutes, without including the local ordinance authorizing the cost. Pursuant to Carter v. State , 173 So. 3d 1048, 1051 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015), we remand for the court to cite the applicable ordinance. We also remand for the court to correct the criminal punishment scoresheet, which incorrectly indicates that Appellant entered a guilty plea. He was actually found guilty following a jury trial.

We AFFIRM the judgment and sentence but REMAND for the court to make corrections to the judgment and to the sentencing scoresheet.

    Kayodi WHITLEY, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 4D18-2610
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    [April 10, 2019]
    Andrew B. Greenlee of Andrew B. Greenlee, P.A., Sanford, and Gregory C. Rosenfeld of Law Offices of Greg Rosenfeld, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Ana Cristina Martinez, General Counsel, and Christian D. Lake, Assistant General Counsel, The Justice Administrative Commission, Tallahassee, for appellee.
   Gross, J.

After Kayodi Whitley spent nearly four years on pre-trial house arrest, a jury acquitted him of second degree murder. The trial court entered a judgment of not guilty.

Pursuant to section 939.06, Florida Statutes (2018), Whitley moved for reimbursement of certain costs he paid to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office ("PBSO"). The trial court awarded some costs but declined to award $ 13,428 for fees Whitley paid to PBSO while on pre-trial house arrest. Whitley's entitlement to recover these pre-trial house arrest fees is the subject of this appeal.

We affirm the ruling of the circuit court because pre-trial house arrest fees are not a "charge of subsistence while [a defendant is] detained in custody" within the meaning of section 939.06.

The supreme court has observed that the concept of " 'taxable costs' under section 939.06 is circumscribed." Wolf v. Cty. of Volusia , 703 So.2d 1033, 1034 (Fla. 1997). The court has explained that

[c]ommon law provided no mechanism whereby one party could be charged with the costs of the other. Cost provisions are a creature of statute and must be carefully construed. This Court has held for over a century that cost provisions against the state must be expressly authorized.

Bd. of Cty. Comm'rs, Pinellas Cty. v. Sawyer , 620 So.2d 757, 758 (Fla. 1993). Thus, if a proposed cost is not expressly authorized by the statute it must be denied. And a "statute enacted in derogation of the common law must be strictly construed .... 'The presumption is that no change in the common law is intended unless the statute is explicit and clear in that regard.' " Major League Baseball v. Morsani , 790 So.2d 1071, 1077-78 (Fla. 2001) (quoting Thornber v. City of Ft. Walton Beach , 568 So.2d 914, 918 (Fla. 1990) ); see also Slawson v. Fast Food Enters. , 671 So.2d 255, 257 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996).

Section 939.06(1) states:

A defendant in a criminal prosecution who is acquitted or discharged is not liable for any costs or fees of the court or any ministerial office, or for any charge of subsistence while detained in custody . If the defendant has paid any taxable costs, or fees required under s. 27.52(1)(b), in the case, the clerk or judge shall give him or her a certificate of the payment of such costs, with the items thereof, which, when audited and approved according to law, shall be refunded to the defendant.

(Emphasis added). Pre-trial house arrest fees are not a cost or fee of "the court or any ministerial office," nor are they a fee "required under s. 27.52(1)(b)." Id. To be recoverable under the statute, pre-trial house arrest fees must qualify as a "charge of subsistence while [a defendant is] detained in custody." Id.

We focus on what the statute means by the phrase "detained in custody." The supreme court has rejected the notion that the statutory language is ambiguous and declared it to be "unequivocal." Bd. of Cty. Comm'rs, 620 So.2d at 758. Under the application of strict construction, the meaning of "detained in custody" cannot be separated from the notion of significant physical confinement. In the context of the criminal law, "custody" denotes "[t]he detention of a person by virtue of lawful process or authority," Custody , Black's Law Dictionary, (8th ed. 2004), or "imprisonment; legal restraint." Custody , The Random House Dictionary of the English Language, (1967) (unabridged).

Unlike actual physical custody, pre-trial house arrest is a form of "constructive custody," which involves "[c]ustody of a person (such as a parolee or probationer) whose freedom is controlled by legal authority but who is not under direct physical control." Constructive Custody , Black's Law Dictionary. In such a situation the term "custody" is used metaphorically to describe a situation that falls short of actual physical confinement.

A defendant participating in a house arrest program while awaiting trial is not "detained in custody" within the meaning of section 939.06. A defendant awaiting trial who sleeps in his own bed, who rests his head on his own pillow, and who can surf the internet with his personal cell phone is not operating under the type of custodial detention contemplated by the statute.

We distinguish Wolf as a case involving "process service by the Sheriff expenses," a ministerial charge for a litigation expense that is different from the house arrest fees here at issue. 703 So.2d at 1034.

Affirmed .

Conner and Forst, JJ., concur.

      We have jurisdiction pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.030(b)(1)(A), because the order on appeal is a final order involving costs.

    No. 4D18-793
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    [May 1, 2019]
    Kendrick Almaguer and Natalie M. Eusebe of The Ticktin Law Group, Deerfield Beach, for appellants.
    James H. Wyman of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP, Coral Gables, for appellee.
   Warner, J.

Appellants challenge a final judgment of foreclosure. They raise several issues, one of which requires reversal. While the trial court concluded that through witness testimony appellee had established its compliance with the provisions of the mortgage that required notice of default to have been mailed to the appellant borrowers prior to acceleration, we disagree that the proof was adequate. In Torres v. Deutsche Bank National Trust Co. , 256 So.3d 903, 905 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018), we explained that where witness testimony is used to prove mailing, the witness must have personal knowledge of the business's general practice in mailing letters. As there was no testimony with respect to personal knowledge of the practices of the entity which allegedly mailed the letter, the evidence was insufficient to prove that appellee complied with the condition precedent. We reverse.

Appellants executed a note and mortgage to IndyMac Bank, F.S.B., in 2007. In 2009, OneWest Bank, F.S.B., brought an action to foreclose the mortgage, alleging that it was the holder of the note and servicer for the owner of the note, Federal National Mortgage Association. Attached to the complaint was a copy of the promissory note with a blank endorsement from IndyMac. Appellants answered with various affirmative defenses, including OneWest's failure to send a notice of default pursuant to Paragraph 22 of the mortgage, a condition precedent to foreclosure. During the proceedings, Ocwen was substituted as the party plaintiff for OneWest, as it had become the servicer of the loan.

The case proceeded to trial. A senior loan analyst for Ocwen testified. Prior to her employment with Ocwen, which began in 2014, she was employed with OneWest as a default litigation specialist from 2012-2013. The analyst described Ocwen's boarding process, and through her testimony, the note, mortgage, and assignments of mortgage (from IndyMac to One West, and then to Ocwen) were admitted, as well as the loan payment history.

With respect to the notice of default, required by Paragraph 22 of the mortgage, appellee sought to admit the notice that was purportedly sent to the appellants in July 2009. The notice stated that it was from IndyMac Mortgage Services, a division of OneWest. The analyst identified the notice as being maintained in Ocwen's system of records. The trial court admitted the notice as a business record of Ocwen, over the objection of appellants. Appellee's witness also testified that there was no indication from Ocwen's records that the letter was ever returned. During cross-examination, the analyst testified that IndyMac Mortgage Services was a division of OneWest Bank. As to the notice, she testified that she did not have any personal involvement in sending default letters, but OneWest did not utilize a vendor or third party to send out its letters. She had not observed the sending of breach letters by IndyMac Bank, nor was she ever employed by it or had access to its policies and procedures. Ocwen was not involved in sending the default letter to appellants. Appellee's witness did testify that as part of her job description at OneWest, she was trained on how to determine whether a default letter was actually mailed. However, she never described the mail procedure at either IndyMac, OneWest, or Ocwen.

Appellants moved for involuntary dismissal at the end of appellee's case on two grounds, including the lack of evidence that the default letter was actually mailed. The letter itself did not contain any proof that it was mailed, and there was no evidence to establish the regular business practices of IndyMac. Although the letter was boarded, there was no return receipt or mail log showing that it was mailed. The witness did not have personal knowledge of IndyMac's mailing practices; thus, there was no evidence that the lender complied with the condition precedent of providing notice of the loan's acceleration under Paragraph 22 of the mortgage.

Counsel for Ocwen responded that the witness testified that she was previously employed with OneWest, was familiar with its mailing procedures, and knew how to determine whether documents were mailed by OneWest based on its business records. Based on the witness's review, the notice was sent. The letter was sent by IndyMac, which was a division of OneWest. The court noted that the letter identified IndyMac as a division of OneWest, and the analyst used to be employed with OneWest and understood the nature of its mailing procedures. It therefore denied the motion for involuntary dismissal.

Appellant Gino Alessio testified that he had never received the default letter. Following closing arguments, the court found that appellee had proved its case and entered final judgment of foreclosure. This appeal followed.

This Court reviews de novo the denial of a motion for involuntary dismissal. Torres v. Deutsche Bank Nat'l Tr. Co. , 256 So.3d 903, 905 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018). There must be competent substantial evidence that the lender complied with the conditions precedent to foreclosure under the terms of the mortgage, including the requirement that the notice of default was actually sent to the borrowers. See PNC Bank Nat'l Ass'n v. Roberts , 246 So.3d 482, 485 (Fla. 5th DCA 2018).

Paragraph 22 of the mortgage requires that the lender give the borrower thirty days' notice to cure a default prior to acceleration of the amount due. Paragraph 15 provides that notices to the borrower "shall be deemed to have been given to Borrower when mailed by first class mail or when actually delivered to Borrower's notice address if sent by other means." Appellants contend that the evidence was insufficient to prove that the notice was mailed to them.

After the final judgment in this case, this court decided Torres v. Deutsche Bank National Trust Co. , 256 So.3d 903 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018). There, we discussed the requirement for a lender to present sufficient evidence that it actually mailed the default letter to the borrower:

Where there are conditions precedent to filing the foreclosure suit, a bank must prove that it has substantially complied with them. Ortiz v. PNC Bank, Nat'l Ass'n , 188 So.3d 923, 925 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016). Along with the note, mortgage, and evidence regarding the outstanding debt on the loan, the default or acceleration letter must be introduced to demonstrate entitlement to foreclosure. Liberty Home Equity Sols., Inc. v. Raulston , 206 So.3d 58, 60 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016). In addition to introducing the letter, the bank must also present competent, substantial evidence that the letter was actually mailed. Ensler v. Aurora Loan Servs., LLC , 178 So.3d 95, 97 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015).
Evidence that a document was drafted is insufficient, standing alone, to establish that it was in fact mailed. See Burt v. Hudson & Keyse, LLC , 138 So.3d 1193, 1195 (Fla. 5th DCA 2014). Rather, the "mailing must be proven by producing additional evidence such as proof of regular business practices, an affidavit swearing that the letter was mailed, or a return receipt." CitiBank, N.A. for WAMU Series 2007-HE2 Tr. v. Manning , 221 So.3d 677, 681 (Fla. 4th DCA 2017) (quoting Allen v. Wilmington Tr., N.A. , 216 So.3d 685, 688 (Fla. 2d DCA 2017) ).
If the evidence comes by way of witness testimony, "the witness must have personal knowledge of the company's general practice in mailing letters." Allen , 216 So.3d at 688 (citing CitiMortgage, Inc. v. Hoskinson , 200 So.3d 191, 192 (Fla. 5th DCA 2016) ); accord Spencer v. Ditech Fin., LLC , 242 So.3d 1189, 1191 (Fla. 2d DCA 2018). Mere reliance on the boarding process to prove that the notice letter was mailed is insufficient. See Allen , 216 So.3d at 687.

Id. at 905. In this case, there was no proof of regular business practices or documents admitted to show that the document was actually mailed. The court originally admitted the notice as a business record of Ocwen, but as noted in Torres , reliance on the boarding process to prove that the notice was mailed is insufficient. The analyst testified that she had been taught by OneWest to determine whether a default letter was mailed, but she never described that process. As she began working for OneWest in 2012, she did not testify that the process used by IndyMac Mortgage Services in 2009 (when the letter allegedly was sent) was the same process used by OneWest when she commenced work for them three years later. In other words, she had no personal knowledge of the company's general practice in mailing letters as it existed in 2009. In fact, there was no evidence presented of any process of mailing letters of any of the entities involved. Compare with Roberts , 246 So.3d at 486 (finding evidence of the witness's personal knowledge of the routine business practice of the Bank and its vendor regarding the mailing of letters was sufficient to prove mailing where the witness explained that the Bank ordered its letters from the outsourcing vendor, which printed, folded, placed them in window envelopes, sealed them, affixed postage and mailed them first class; the witness also testified that the vendor then provided a report to the Bank showing that the letter was mailed). Thus, there was insufficient evidence that the notice was mailed, and the trial court erred in denying the motion for involuntary dismissal. See Torres.

For the foregoing reasons, we reverse the final judgment of foreclosure and remand for dismissal of the action.

    Debra A. JOOSTE, Appellant, v. Michael W. JOOSTE, Appellee.
    No. 4D18-2736
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    [May 8, 2019]
    Brittani S. Gross, Doreen Inkeles and Charles D. Jamieson of The Law Firm of Charles D. Jamieson, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Cash A. Eaton of Sasser, Cestero & Sasser, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   Kuntz, J.

The Wife appeals a temporary relief order that awarded her temporary alimony and denied her request for temporary attorney's fees, suit money, and professional fees. The temporary relief order granted the Husband unsupervised timesharing with minor children. Finally, the court found the Wife had the need to receive temporary child support and that the Husband had the ability to pay for it, but it made no separate or express provision relating to child support.

We reverse the court's order for failing to make findings on child support. We also reverse the court's order denying the Wife temporary attorney's fees, suit money, and professional fees, for failing to consider the required factors. We otherwise affirm without discussion.

i. The Court Failed to Award Child Support

The Wife argues the court erred by failing to make an express award of child support after finding that she established a need. The Husband partially concedes error but argues the court intended the alimony awarded in the temporary relief order to include both temporary alimony and child support.

The Husband acknowledges the court needed to identify the amount of the support award that was alimony and the amount that was child support. See Van Maerssen v. Gerdts , 213 So.3d 952, 953 (Fla. 4th DCA 2017) (holding that undifferentiated spousal and child support is an abuse of discretion (citing Greenhouse v. Greenhouse , 913 So.2d 1201 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005) ; Blum v. Blum , 769 So.2d 1142, 1143 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000) )).

He also concedes that the court erred in failing to identify the parties' respective incomes in its temporary relief order. See Lopez v. Regalado , 257 So.3d 550, 558 (Fla. 3d DCA 2018) (recognizing that in awarding child support, the trial court must make findings on the parties' income (citations omitted)).

Based on the Husband's proper confession of error, we reverse the temporary alimony order.

ii. The Temporary Fee Award Failed to Identify Factors

The court denied the Wife temporary attorney's fees and professional fees. The Wife argues the court failed to consider all factors required when awarding temporary attorney's fees and costs.

To ensure that both parties have the ability to obtain competent legal counsel, a court is permitted to award reasonable attorney's fees and costs. Nichols v. Nichols , 519 So.2d 620, 621 (Fla. 1988) (citations omitted); § 61.16(1), Fla. Stat. (2018). "[T]he appropriate inquiry and standard to be applied is the same whether the fees requested are temporary or final." Nichols , 519 So.2d at 622 (citations omitted). But see Kasm v. Kasm , 933 So.2d 48, 51 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006) ("It seems to me that the process of setting a temporary award of attorneys' fees in a divorce proceeding should not be subjected to the same rigors as a final award." (Altenbernd, J., concurring) (citations omitted)).

That inquiry "is whether one spouse has a need for suit money and the other has the ability to pay" and also requires the court to "determine the reasonableness of any attorney's fees and costs prior to ordering a party to pay them." Duncan v. Duncan , 642 So.2d 1167, 1168 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994) (citations omitted). The Florida Supreme Court provided other factors to consider,

such as the scope and history of the litigation; the duration of the litigation; the merits of the respective positions; whether the litigation is brought or maintained primarily to harass (or whether a defense is raised mainly to frustrate or stall); and the existence and course of prior or pending litigation.

Rosen v. Rosen , 696 So.2d 697, 700 (Fla. 1997).

Here, the court did not make findings on the complexity of the case, the Wife's need for temporary fees, the Husband's ability to pay temporary fees, or the reasonableness of the fees sought. Instead, it compared the amount the Wife paid for professional services to the amount the Husband paid. Because the Wife paid twice the amount as the Husband, the court denied her temporary fees.

The court therefore erred when it considered no factors other than the amount paid by each party. As a result, we reverse the order denying the Wife temporary fees, suit money, and professional fees.

iii. Conclusion

Based on the Husband's confession of error, we reverse the court's order relating to child support. We also reverse the court's order denying the Wife temporary fees, suit money, and professional fees. The case is remanded for further proceedings.

Affirmed in part; reversed in part; and remanded.

    Alexander P. ALMAZAN, Esq., Almazan Law, Annalie Alvarez, Esq., the Law Office of Annalie Alvarez, and Joao Gabriel Alberto Aguilera, Petitioners, v. In re: ESTATE OF Alberto AGUILERA-VALDEZ and Ivan Aguilera, Respondents.
    No. 4D18-2487
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    [May 8, 2019]
    Geoffrey B. Marks of Billbrough & Marks, P.A., Coral Gables, for petitioners.
    Steven M. Ebner and Jason Gonzalez of Shutts & Bowen, LLP, Miami, for respondents.
   Per Curiam.

Petitioners seek a writ of prohibition, or in the alternative, certiorari review of an order awarding sanctions in the form of attorney's fees in an amount to be determined. Because we conclude the trial court lacked jurisdiction, we treat the petition as a petition for writ of prohibition and grant the petition.

The underlying probate action involved litigation by a purported heir, Petitioner Joao Gabriel Alberto Aguilera ("purported heir"), against Respondents ("Estate"). Although the Estate was being administered testate in Mexico, the purported heir petitioned for intestate administration in Florida. Ultimately, the Estate served via email a section 57.105 motion for sanctions on the purported heir and his attorneys (collectively "Petitioners"). Petitioners did not dismiss the action or withdraw the petition during the safe harbor period provided by section 57.105(4), Florida Statutes. Almost one year later, the Estate filed the section 57.105 motion with the trial court, and shortly thereafter, Petitioners voluntarily dismissed the case.

After the voluntary dismissal, the court held a hearing on the Estate's pending sanctions motion. The court concluded it could not impose sanctions based on the Estate's motion because the Estate failed to comply with the email service requirements when it served the safe harbor notice on Petitioners. See Matte v. Caplan , 140 So.3d 686, 688-90 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014) (holding that a section 57.105 sanctions motion was not enforceable where movant failed to comply with the email service requirements of Rule 2.516 for safe harbor sanctions notice). The court nonetheless concluded that sanctions were warranted and imposed section 57.105 sanctions on its own initiative. Petitioners moved for reconsideration, arguing that the court lacked jurisdiction to impose section 57.105 sanctions on its own initiative in light of the voluntary dismissal. In response, the court entered an order clarifying that it was proceeding under its inherent authority pursuant to the "inequitable conduct doctrine." The court concluded that a party could not divest a court of its inherent power to sanction bad faith conduct by filing a voluntary dismissal.

The narrow issue we decide in this case is whether the trial court had the inherent authority to sua sponte impose sanctions after entry of the voluntary dismissal. Generally, even in the absence of statutory authority, a trial court judge has the inherent authority to award attorney's fees as a sanction for bad faith conduct. See Bitterman v. Bitterman , 714 So.2d 356, 365 (Fla. 1998). However, a court's inherent authority to do so is not endless and can be limited by the entry of a voluntary dismissal. This is because the effect of a voluntary dismissal is to "remove completely from the court's consideration the power to enter an order, equivalent in all respects to a deprivation of 'jurisdiction.' " Randle-Eastern Ambulance Serv., Inc. v. Vasta , 360 So.2d 68, 69 (Fla. 1978). Thus, for example, in instances where a movant has filed a sanctions motion after a voluntary dismissal, reviewing courts have granted prohibition on the basis that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to hear the sanctions motion. See Pomeranz & Landsman Corp. v. Miami Marlins Baseball Club, L.P. , 143 So.3d 1182, 1182-83 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014) ; Buckingham Estates Homeowners Ass'n v. Metcalf , 207 So.3d 966, 967-68 (Fla. 5th DCA 2016).

With these parameters in mind, we hold that a trial court's inherent authority to award attorney's fees as a sanction for bad faith conduct on its own initiative does not extend beyond a voluntary dismissal. Although we have found no cases directly addressing this type of situation, we find persuasive other cases that have limited a court's inherent authority after a voluntary dismissal. See, e.g. , Jabri, Inc. v. U Save Motors, Inc. , 971 So.2d 912, 912-13 (Fla. 3d DCA 2007) (holding that the voluntary dismissal divested the trial court of the power to enter an order for the return of funds); Romar Int'l, Inc. v. Jim Rathman Chevrolet/Cadillac, Inc. , 420 So.2d 346, 348 (Fla. 5th DCA 1982) (holding that the voluntary dismissal divested the trial court of its inherent jurisdiction to award expenses as a sanction).

For these reasons, we grant the petition for writ of prohibition and quash the order imposing sanctions.

Damoorgian, Levine and Forst, JJ., concur.

      We recognize that other courts disagree with this Court's holding in Matte and have certified conflict. See, e.g. , Denino v. Abbate , 247 So.3d 48, 50 (Fla. 2d DCA 2018) (holding email service requirements did not apply to sanctions and certifying conflict); see also Wheaton v. Wheaton , 261 So.3d 1236, 1243-44 (Fla. 2019) (discussing Matte in dicta ). However, the Estate does not argue here that the trial court erred in dismissing its motion for sanctions pursuant to the holding in Matte . Therefore, we decline to consider the issue here.
