v.
STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY COMPANY, Appellee.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Brenda F. Fulmer and James T. Holloway of Alley & Ingram, P. A., and Matthew R. Danahy of Douglas L. Grose, P. A., Tampa, for Appellant.
Marcy Levine Aldrich and Nancy A. Copperthwaite of Akerman Senterfitt & Eidson, P. A., Miami; Virginia B. Townes of Akerman Senterfitt & Eidson, P. A., Orlando, for Appellee.
ORFINGER, R. B., J.
Robert and Priscilla Graham appeal a final order dismissing their amended complaint asserting class action claims against State Farm Fire and Casualty Company.[1] We affirm.
After a dispute arose between the Grahams and State Farm regarding a property loss claim, the Grahams filed suit in county court seeking to recover the disputed amount. Shortly thereafter, State Farm paid the disputed amount with interest. Two years later, the Grahams transferred the case to circuit court based on their amended complaint seeking to assert class action claims against State Farm on behalf of similarly situated State Farm insureds.
No class action may proceed unless there is a named plaintiff with standing *274 to represent the class. W.S. Badcock Corp. v. Webb,
Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of the Grahams class claims due to their lack of standing. The Grahams may pursue any individual claim they may have against State Farm, including their claim for attorney's fees and costs.
AFFIRMED.
GRIFFIN and SAWAYA, JJ., concur.

[1] The amended complaint also asserted an individual claim against State Farm. That claim was not dismissed and is not part of this appeal.
