Kardell v. Department of Children & Families
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 13, 2004 · Griffin, Orfinger, Pleus
864 So. 2d 1289; 2004 Fla. App. LEXIS 1538; 2004 WL 256449 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Kardell v. Department of Children & Families

Opinion of the Court

GRIFFIN, J.

Appellants, James Kardell and Daphne Kardell, have appealed the denial of an award of attorney’s fees for so-called “conflict counsel.” After examining the record, we find no error in the denial of fees.

Appellants also urge that the trial court erred as a matter of law in finding that they were not entitled to costs for appeal. We conclude that appellants have failed to demonstrate error. The purpose of the $7,000 cost application to transcribe the entire proceeding below is not apparent and is not explained.

AFFIRMED.

PLEUS and ORFINGER, JJ., concur.
