PER CURIAM. Affirmed. See Denose v. Garcia, 388 So. 3d 857, 859 (Fla. 3d DCA
2023) (“While we are sympathetic that the statute of limitations has expired
on Denose’s claim against Garcia, the trial court has discretion to dismiss a
case for a failure of service under Rule 1.070(j) even when the statute of
limitations serves to bar an action.”); Powell v. Madison Cnty. Sheriff’s Dep’t,
100 So. 3d 753, 754 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012) (affirming dismissal for failure to
effectuate service despite expiration of statute of limitations where trial court
balanced the competing policy considerations between achieving a
resolution on the merits and the preclusive effect of the statute of limitations).
