PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. Banco de los Trabajadores v. Cortez Moreno,
237 So. 3d
1127, 1136 (Fla. 3d DCA 2018) (“We cannot read section 48.193(1)(a)'s dual
requirements—both that a defendant does an enumerated act in
Florida and that the cause of action arises from an enumerated act in
Florida—as authorizing the exercise of specific jurisdiction when the only tort
relied upon to confer such jurisdiction is a civil conspiracy to commit a tort,
and no element of the underlying tort is alleged to have occurred in Florida.”).
