Opinion

Case No. 4D02-4755.

Opinion filed November 19, 2003.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, St. Lucie County, Ben L. Bryan, Judge. L.T. Case No. 01-14 CA.

John J. Anastasio, Port St. Lucie, for appellants.

Harold G. Melville, Fort Pierce, for appellees.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court's order assessing attorney's fees against appellants pursuant to section 57.105, Florida Statutes, as we find appellants' arguments to be without merit. To the extent appellants argue that chapter 99-225, which amended section 57.105, is unconstitutional as violative of the single subject rule, we align ourselves with the first and third districts, which have rejected similar arguments. See Budget Rent-A-Car Systems v. Eddie Bennett, 847 So.2d 579 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003);Enterprise Leasing Co. v. Hughes, 833 So.2d 832 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002).

AFFIRMED.

STONE, POLEN and HAZOURI, JJ., concur.

NOT FINAL UNTIL DISPOSITION OF ANY TIMELY FILED MOTION FOR REHEARING.
