NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION AND, IF FILED, DISPOSED OF.

Opinion filed June 4, 2003. An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Ellen L. Leesfield, Judge. Butler Pappas Weihmuller Katz Craig and Scott J. Frank, for appellant. Gilbride, Heller & Brown, Lawrence R. Heller and Rosana E. Hernandez, for appellee. Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GODERICH and GREEN, JJ. PER CURIUM. The defendant, Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company [Liberty Mutual], appeals from an adverse final judgment. A review of the record shows that Liberty Mutual had notice of the loss, that there was a disagreement about the amount of the loss, and that therefore the amount of the loss was properly submitted to the appraisal panel. U.S. Fid. & Guar. Co. v. Romay, 744 So. 2d 467 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999). Further, we find that Liberty Mutual s assertion that an exclusion precludes coverage for the loss is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm. 2
