PER CURIAM.
Anthony Ostuni was shot and killed during a robbery at a Meineke Discount Muffler Shop where he worked as a mechanic. His widow, Elizabeth Ostuni, filed for and received workers' compensation benefits. Later, she filed a wrongful death suit against the employer (a Meineke franchise), the Meineke franchisor, a father and son connected to the franchise (the Ufers), and various employees of the franchise.
To plead around the problem of workers' compensation immunity, one iteration of the complaint alleged Anthony Ostuni's status as a business invitee of the franchise, which was not true. The lawsuit alleged multiple theories of liability against many defendants: that the franchisee was the actual or apparent agent of the franchisor; that the franchisee was the actual or apparent agent for the Ufers; that the Ufers were the actual or apparent agents for the franchisee; that the franchisor was directly negligent under the franchise agreement; that the Ufers were negligent as franchisees or directly negligent under the franchise agreement; and that the Ufers, the franchisor, and franchisees were negligent in causing Ostuni's wrongful death.
The trial court granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment and a motion filed by an insurer in a related declaratory judgment action. We affirm in all respects, finding that the non-insurer appellees were "other person[s]" who acted in a "managerial or policymaking capacity" within the meaning of section 440.11(1), Florida Statutes (1998). To the extent that some of the causes of action rely on the vicarious liability of those acting through agents with workers' compensation immunity, then no cause of action exists under Mobil Oil Corp. v. Bransford, 648 So.2d 119, 121 (Fla.1995), which holds that if an apparent "agent cannot be held liable, neither can the principal, because there is nothing to impute." Ostuni relies upon Gulfstream Land & Development Corp. v. Wilkerson, 420 So.2d 587 (Fla. 1982), but we find that case to be inapplicable because it predates the 1988 revision of section 440.11(1).
Affirmed.
WARNER, GROSS and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
