Johnathan Naranjo, Appellant,

vs.

Natalie Somoano, Appellee.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Elisabeth Espinosa Marin, Judge.

Johnathan Naranjo, in proper person.

Natalie Somoano, in proper person.

Before LOGUE, C.J., and LINDSEY and BOKOR, JJ.

PER CURIAM. Affirmed. Khan v. Deutschman, 282 So. 3d 965, 968 (Fla. 1st DCA

2019) (explaining that the definition of “domestic violence” in section 741.28,

Florida Statutes, includes stalking, and that this inclusion “causes the

statutory definition to diverge considerably from the colloquial meaning of the

word”; affirming the trial court’s grant of a dating violence injunction where

such repeated instances of stalking after being told to stop reasonably

caused emotional distress).
