Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The instant petition for certiorari challenges the refusal to dissolve a lis pendens. The orders under review are quashed because the underlying action, which concerns allegedly fraudulent transactions involving interests in the petitioner-corporation which owns the property, does not directly affect the realty itself and therefore cannot justify the maintenance of a lis pendens upon it. Sunrise Point, Inc. v. Foss, 373 So. 2d 438 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979), cert. denied, 374 So. 2d 99 (Fla.1979); Hallmark Manufacturing, Inc. v. Lujack Construction Co., Inc., 372 So. 2d 520 (Fla. 4th DCA 1979); Worldwide Development-Kendale Lakes West v. Lot Headquarters, Inc., 305 So. 2d 271 (Fla. 3d DCA 1974); Beefy King International, Inc. v. Veigle, 464 F. 2d 1102 (5th Cir.1972).

Certiorari granted.
