By this appeal, plaintiff in the trial court seeks review of an adverse final judgment dismissing the complaint in the lower court with prejudice.
From the record on appeal, it appears that one Edward Donald Conklin, husband of the plaintiff Joan Conklin, was employed as a workman on a building being erected in the City of Miami Beach, known as Arlen Beach Apаrtments when a scaffolding broke and he plunged 17 stories to his death. As a result thereof, the рlaintiff brought an action against the appel-lees, Cohen, Levine, Rose, and Schmincke, d/b/a Arlen Beach Apartments and/or Arlen Two Company and/or Normal of Florida, Inc., as owners of the building; Morris Lapidus, the architect; Oboler and Clark, Inc., the engineering firm; the City оf Miami Beach; and Zurich Insurance Company, the workmen’s compensation carrier for the contractor and subcontractor. The complaint basically allegеd each of the appellees negligently breached their duty to provide the dеceased with a safe place to work by failing to see that certain safety rеgulations were followed. It also alleged that the deceased was a third party beneficiary of certain agreements between some of the defendants. The aрpellees moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of аction and, after hearing thereon, the trial court entered the order of dismissal with prejudice. This appeal ensued. We affirm.
As to the owners, from the allegations of the сomplaint they were acting in concert with the general contractor and, therefore, they were entitled to the benefit of the immunity provided by § 440.11, Fla. Stat., F.S.A. As to the architeсt, the contract establishing his relationship with the project was not attached to the complaint. But, it is apparent that he would be entitled to the benefits of the decision in Allen v. Employers Service Corporation, Fla.App.1971,
Counsel for the appellant urges that the decision in Allеn v. Employers Service Corporation, supra, is in conflict with this court’s decision in Gallichiо v. Corporate Group Service, Inc., Fla.App.1969,
Therefore, for the reasons above stated, the final judgment here under review be and the same is hereby affirmed.
Affirmed.
