FASTRACK APPEAL
2Per curiam
The appellant-subcontractor brought a cause of action against the contractor and its surety to establish and to foreclose a mechanic’s lien. It also requested costs and attorney’s fees against the appellee-owner of the property to the extent they exceeded the amount secured by the surety bond. The trial court granted the motion to dismiss with prejudice. We affirm.
The issue is whether there can be an award of an unsecured judgment for attorney’s fees and costs against the owner of real estate when the lien has been transferred to a bond.
