IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED BASSAM TRADING COMPANY, LTD., Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. Case No. 5D14-1788 WHEELED COACH INDUSTRIES, INC., Appellee/Cross-Appellant. ________________________________/ Opinion filed July 31, 2015 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Lisa T. Munyon, Judge. William V. Roppolo, of Baker & McKenzie LLP, Miami, and Michael A. Pollard and Kyle R. Olson, of Baker & McKenzie, Chicago, Illinois, for Appellant/CrossAppellee. Christopher N. Bellows, of Holland and Knight LLP, Miami, David A. Jones, of Holland and Knight LLP, Orlando, for Appellee/Cross-Appellant. PER CURIAM. Bassam Trading Company, Ltd. appeals the trial court’s Final Order Enforcing Settlement Agreement (“Final Order”). It argues that the trial court erred in ruling that the parties agreed on an enforceable settlement agreement. As to this issue, we affirm without further discussion. Wheeled Coach Industries, Inc. has filed a cross-appeal claiming that the trial court erred in establishing October 21, 2014, as the effective date of the settlement agreement. We agree, reverse that part of the Final Order, and remand this case to the trial court to enter an Amended Final Order establishing November 14, 2013, as the effective date. This correction will ensure that the date of the settlement agreement and the release are the same. AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; REMANDED. SAWAYA and LAMBERT, JJ., and MCKIBBEN, K.J., Associate Judge, concur. 2
