      An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Stanford Blake,
Judge.

      Lipcon, Margulies, Alsina & Winkleman, and Michael A. Winkleman and
Jacqueline Garcell, for appellant.

      McAlpin Conroy, and Richard J. McAlpin and Kassandra C. Doyle, for
appellee.


Before SHEPHERD, C.J., and ROTHENBERG and EMAS, JJ.

     SHEPHERD, C.J.
         Carieann M. Schmieder appeals from orders dismissing her negligence claim

for fraud on the court and a final judgment awarding NCL America, Inc.,

attorney’s fees and costs. Finding no abuse of discretion, we affirm the order

dismissing Ms. Schmieder’s claim. NCL America, Inc., however, has conceded

error in the award of attorney’s fees and costs predicated upon section 768.79,

Florida Statutes (2013), which this Court has ruled inapplicable in admiralty cases.

See Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. v. Cox, 

(Fla. 3d DCA 2014),

rev. dismissed, 

(Fla. 2014).1 Accordingly, we reverse the judgment

awarding attorney’s fees and remand the award of costs to the trial court for

reconsideration.

         Affirmed in part; reversed in part; and remanded.




1   The trial court did not have the benefit of this Court’s holding in Cox.
