Further, upon consideration of the initial brief, and finding no preliminary
basis for reversal has been demonstrated, the order below is summarily affirmed
pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.315(a). See Soro v. Soro, 145
So. 3d 183 (Fla. 3d DCA 2014); Fla. Detroit Diesel v. Nathai, 28 So. 3d 182 (Fla.
1st DCA 2010) (“[W]e conclude that the appellants’ initial brief fails to
demonstrate a preliminary basis for reversal and we therefore summarily affirm the
order without the need for an answer brief.”).
Affirmed.
