above-referenced action.
3. Plaintiff and Butler & Hosch P.A. have agreed to a flat rate attorney's fee of $1,200.00 for

representation would be at an hourly rate in accordance with Florida Patient's
Compensation Fund v. Rowe, 472 So. 2d 1145 (Fla. 1985).
A reasonable rate for this type of action is $175.00 per hour.
