Lyons, P.A. and render judgment that Wallace Ryne, O.D., P.C. take nothing on those claims; • reverse the breach of contract judgment entered against Robert A. Lyons, P.A. and render judgment that Wallace Ryne, O.D., P.C. take nothing on that claim;

• reverse the tortious interference judgments and corresponding awards of compensatory and exemplary damages entered against Kasey Holdridge and render judgment that Wallace Ryne, O.D., P.C. take nothing on those claims;

• reverse the trial court’s order of dissolution; and

• affirm the trial court’s award of attorney’s fees. It is further ordered that each party shall bear its own costs of this appeal, for

which let execution issue.
