Per Curiam.

U.S. Bank appeals the trial court’s award of prevailing party attorney’s fees to the Tranumns in this foreclosure action. Separately, this Court quashed the final judgment of foreclosure in 1D16-4911. As such, because the award of attorney’s fees in this case was based on the now-defunct final judgment, the trial court’s award of fees based on that judgment is reversed and the case is remanded with instruction to vacate the order awarding the attorney’s fees. See Marty v. Bainter, 727 So.2d 1124, 1125 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999)(“Onee a final judgment is reversed and remanded by an appellate court, there can be no prevailing party for purposes of an award of prevailing party attorney’s fees. Consequently, an award of attorney’s fees and costs predicated on a reversed or vacated final judgment also must be reversed.”).

Reversed and Remanded with instruction to vacate award of attorney’s fees.
