1Opinion of the Court
VANCE, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiff Leonard M. Harrell brought this action to establish a declaration of trust in certain real property held by the defendants and to obtain an accounting of proceeds derived from the property. After a non-jury trial the district court ordered defendant Pencie W. Wester to convey a portion of the property to Harrell and to pay Harrell $98,074.27 in proceeds she had received from the property. Because we conclude that Harrell’s action is barred by Florida’s Marketable Record Title Act (MRTA), Fla.Stat. §§ 712.01-10, we reverse.
