MURRAY B. SILVERSTEIN, & CYNTHIA A. MIKOS, ETC., APPELLANTS,
v.
PUBLIC MEDICAL ASSISTANCE TRUST FUND, ET AL., APPELLEES

Fla. 1st DCA | 2005-08-31
No. 1D04-1116
ALLEN, LEWIS and HAWKES, JJ., concur.
911 So. 2d 831 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (2005) Caution
Cited by 12 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellants, Murray B. Silverstein, P.A. and Cynthia A. Mikos, P.A., contend that the trial court erred in declining to apply a multiplier to the class action attorneys’ fee award. While we may disagree with the trial court’s decision, we are unable to say that the court abused its discretion in so ruling. See Jones & Granger v. Johnson, 788 So. 2d 381, 385 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001) (“In reviewing a decision of the trial court under the abuse of discretion standard, our mere disagreement with the reasoning of the trial court is not sufficient for reversal.”); Pellar v. Granger Asphalt Paving, Inc., 687 So. 2d 282, 285 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997) (noting that a trial court’s order must be affirmed if reasonable people could differ as to the propriety of the court’s action) (citing Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So. 2d 1197 (Fla.1980)). Accordingly, we AFFIRM.

ALLEN, LEWIS and HAWKES, JJ., concur.
