Before SHEPHERD, C.J., and WELLS and SUAREZ, JJ. SUAREZ, J. Marlena Blanco seeks to reverse the trial court s order granting the appelleedefendants , Monique & Me, Inc., d/b/a Culinary Specialty Food and CWF Warehouse, LLC, motion to dismiss with prejudice. Blanco brought an action against her employers under the Florida Civil Rights Act (FCRA), sections 760.0111, 509.092, Florida Statutes (2010), after her termination, alleging employment discrimination based on pregnancy. Because the State of Florida has not chosen to include a prohibition against pregnancy-based discrimination under the FCRA, we reluctantly affirm, following this Court s precedent in Delva v. Continental Group, Inc., 96 So. 3d 956 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012), review granted, No. SC12-2315 (Fla. May 2, 2013). Affirmed. SHEPHERD, C.J., concurs. WELLS, J., concurs in results only. 2
