PER CURIAM.

   Petitioners, Publix Supermarkets and Raymond Sapp, both seek
certiorari review of an order granting plaintiff’s motion to amend to seek
punitive damages in this wrongful death cause of action. Section
768.72(1), Florida Statutes (2018), allows for the amendment of a civil
action to state a claim for punitive damages when “there is a reasonable
showing by evidence in the record or proffered by the claimant which
would provide a reasonable basis for recovery of such damages.”
Petitioners contend that the evidence presented was insufficient to make
a “reasonable showing by evidence” that punitive damages may be
recovered and that the court failed to explain how its limited findings were
sufficient to justify a claim for punitive damages.

  In Globe Newspaper Co. v. King, 

, 519 (Fla. 1995), our
supreme court held that:

      appellate courts do have certiorari jurisdiction to review
      whether a trial judge has conformed with the procedural
      requirements of section 768.72, but do not have certiorari
      jurisdiction to review a decision of a trial judge granting leave
      to amend a complaint to include a claim for punitive damages
      when the trial judge has followed the procedural requirements
      of section 768.72. Certiorari is not available to review a
      determination that there is a reasonable showing by evidence
      in the record or proffered by the claimant which would provide
      a reasonable basis for recovery of such damages.

In this case, we conclude that the procedural requirements of the statute
were followed. See Event Depot Corp. v. Frank, 

, 561-62
(Fla. 4th DCA 2019) (requiring three procedural steps: attachment of the
proposed amended complaint to the motion to amend; service of the proffer
or other evidence to support the punitive damage claim; and an affirmative
finding by the trial court that the plaintiff made a reasonable showing by
evidence to support a punitive damage claim). As we are bound by Globe,
we cannot review the petitioners’ claims addressing the sufficiency of the
evidence or the reasonableness of the trial court’s determination. 1

1 We do note that several appellate courts and individual judges have questioned
the continued efficacy of Globe in modern litigation and suggested an amendment
to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130 to permit non-final appeals of orders
on motions to amend to add a punitive damage claim. See Event Depot Corp.,

                                        2
   The petitions are therefore dismissed.
