Before LOGUE, LINDSEY and GORDO, JJ.

PER CURIAM. Affirmed. See Escadote I Corp. v. Ocean Three Condo. Ass'n, 307 So.

3d 938, 942 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020) (“In short, there is no dispute that the water

intrusion was continuous and resulted from the same damaged roof that

existed prior to March 24, 2010. Consequently, the lower court correctly

concluded that the underlying claims against the Association and Board were

barred by the 2010 Release.”); Seminole Tribe of Fla. v. State, Dep’t of

Revenue, 202 So. 3d 971, 974 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016) (holding, in part, that a

second action, in which a claim for damages arises from a later time period,

is barred by res judicata when the substantive issue before the two courts is

the same in both cases).
