PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Allstate Mortg. Sols. Transfer, Inc. v. Bank of Am., N.A., 338 So. 3d 985, 988 (Fla. 3d DCA 2022) (explaining that because first step

defendant took in case “did not assert any challenge to service of process or

otherwise contest the court’s jurisdiction over [him], [he] waived any

subsequent challenge to personal jurisdiction, and could not validly contest

the sufficiency of service of process in a subsequently filed motion to quash

service of process”); Chestnut v. Nationstar Mortg. LLC, 255 So. 3d 397, 399

(Fla. 3d DCA 2018) (“By failing to raise service of process in his pre-answer

motion to dismiss, Chestnut submitted himself to the trial court’s jurisdiction

and thus waived his right to later assert that defense.”).
