District Court of Appeal of Florida

1Opinion of the CourtKuntz, J.
The plaintiff, Sunset Beach Investments, LLC, appeals the circuit court’s final order of summary judgment in favor of one of the defendants, Michael E. Kiefer, Jr. Sunset Beach argues the court erred in two respects: (1) by concluding that Kiefer, an “Engineer Intern,” could not be hable for professional negligence; and (2) by applying the economic loss rule.
We conclude the court correctly decided that Kiefer could not be liable for professional negligence, the lone count asserted against him. In light of our conclusion as to the first argument, we do not address the second argument.
