PER CURIAM.

       R.R. and S.B. appeal the partial summary judgment on their negligence and

respondeat superior claims against the parents and employer of the alleged abuser in this

child sexual abuse case. We are compelled to affirm because the claims were time-

barred by the four-year statute of limitations outlined in section 95.11(3)(a), (p), Florida

Statutes (1996). In reaching this conclusion,1 we align ourselves with the Second District

in D.H. ex rel. R.H. v. Adept Community Services, Inc., 217 So. 3d 1072, 1077-80 (Fla.

2d DCA 2017), and certify conflict with Doe v. Nur-Ul-Islam Academy, Inc., 217 So. 3d

85, 90 (Fla. 4th DCA 2017), and Drake ex rel. Fletcher v. Island Community Church, Inc.,

462 So. 2d 1142, 1144 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984). We recognize that the Florida Supreme

Court has accepted jurisdiction to review the conflict between the holding in D.H. and the

holdings in Nur-Ul-Islam Academy and Drake. See D.H. v. Adept Cmty. Servs., Inc., No.

SC17-829, 2017 WL 4325848, at *1 (Fla. Sept. 29, 2017).

       AFFIRMED and CONFLICT CERTIFIED.



       1 We note that even if we were to adopt Appellants' argument as to section
95.051(1)(i), Florida Statutes (2011), Appellants' negligence and respondeat superior
claims were filed beyond the seven-year repose period provided for in the statute.
Likewise, their alternative argument, based on section 95.11(9), Florida Statutes (2010),
fails because the subsection does not apply to actions that would have been time-barred
on or before July 1, 2010.
