Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
We reverse the trial court’s order imposing a $3,100 fine for appellant’s failure to timely pay $10.52 in accrued interest. AppeEant paid all other required sums, and the fine was not employed to compensate appeEee for losses she sustained or to coerce appeUant into compliance with a previously issued order. See Johnson v. Bednar, 573 So. 2d 822, 824 (Fla.1991). The imposition of the fine in this case, therefore, constitutes an abuse of discretion.
REVERSED.

Berry v. CSX Transp., Inc., 709 So. 2d 552 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998)…hat case and the psychological syndrome testimony which was being proposed. It is clear that the syndrome testimony in Hadden was not based upon scientifically accepted methodology. As Judge Ervin opined in his dissenting opinion in Hadden v. State, 670 So. 2d 77, 89 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996)(en banc), approved by the supreme court, the diagnosis of sexual abuse through a syndrome analysis is not a generally accepted method of diagnosing sexual abuse nor is there a consensus among experts that it is useful as subs…

Floridians FOR A Level Playing Field v. Floridians Against Expanded Gambling, 967 So. 2d 832 (Fla. 2007)…pellate Procedure 9.030(a)(2)(A)(v)). We conclude that by “concurring in the judgment” and failing to indicate his agreement with the decision to certify, Judge Benton’s vote cannot be counted as agreeing with the certification. Cf. Hadden v. State, 670 So. 2d 77, 83 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996) (Benton, J., concurs in result and in certification) (indicating Judge Benton’s agreement with the result and the decision to certify, but disagreement with the reasoning of the majority opinion). Even assuming that we had j…
