Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse a final order granting defendant’s motion to enforce an oral settlement agreement.

It is clear from our examination of the record that the terms of a letter to be written by Appellee were an essential element of the settlement discussion. The record does not support a conclusion that Appellant’s attorney1 agreed to the terms imposed.

GUNTHER and STONE, JJ., and RAMIREZ, JUAN, Jr., Associate Judge, concur. . The attorney’s authority to settle is not disputed.
