Opinion

DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT

CARLO PONTI f/k/a CARLO PONTI MAIORANO, Appellant,

v.

KEVIN BARONOWSKY, Appellee.

No. 4D2023-2859

[September 11, 2024]

Appeal of a nonfinal order from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Michael A. Robinson, Judge; L.T. Case No. 18-021357 CACE (13).

Warren P. Gammill of Warren Gammill & Associates, P.L., Miami, for appellant.

Julissa Rodriguez of Shutts & Bowen LLP, Miami, David O. Batista of Shutts & Bowen LLP, Fort Lauderdale, and Melodie Khosrovani of Shutts & Bowen LLP, Tampa, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

CIKLIN and KUNTZ, JJ., concur. WARNER, J., dissents with opinion.

WARNER, J., dissenting.

Based upon my dissent in Federal Insurance Company v. Perlmutter, 376 So. 3d 24 (Fla. 4th DCA 2023), I would reverse the trial court’s order denying appellant’s motion to add a claim for punitive damages, as the trial court weighed the evidence and made credibility determinations, which should have been properly left to the jury. The plaintiff’s proffer of evidence to support its claim for punitive damages was adequate.
