No. 3D04-583.

951 So.2d 902 (2007)

Sara MARTINEZ, Appellant, v. Gaetano GIACOBBE, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

January 31, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lawrence M. Shoot, Miami, for appellant.

Richard B. Rosenthal, Miami; Lynn H. Gelman, for appellee.

Before COPE, C.J., and CORTIÑAS and ROTHENBERG, JJ.


COPE, C.J.

Sara Martinez appeals a judgment against her for attorney's fees in foreclosure proceedings. The main issue to be considered is whether the trial court had jurisdiction to award attorney's fees for postjudgment work performed after the entry of the original foreclosure judgment. We conclude that the attorney's fees were properly awarded as to postjudgment work performed in state court, but not for work performed in the bankruptcy court.
