On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County.

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED. See R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. v. Prentice, 290 So. 3d 963, 966 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019), review granted, No. SC20-291, 2020 WL 4590156 (Fla. Aug. 11, 2020). Because the direct appeal is affirmed, the cross-appeal is dismissed. See R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. v. Brown, 286 So. 3d 877 (Fla. 5th DCA 2019) (dismissing conditional cross-appeal as moot when affirming issues raised on appeal).
