PER CURIAM. Affirmed. See People’s Tr. Ins. Co. v. Marzouka, 320 So. 3d 945, 948
(Fla. 3d DCA 2021) (“[T]rial courts ordinarily have the discretion to decide
the order in which appraisal and coverage determinations are made.
Analogously, where declaratory counts challenging the enforceability of an
appraisal clause exist, courts must enjoy no less power to decide whether to
address such arguments in an adjudication of the merits of such counts, or
in response to a motion to compel appraisal, before the appraisal can be
enforced, as well as to decide whether an evidentiary hearing is warranted.”
