The Third District Court of Appeal of Florida issued an opinion on September 8, 2021, regarding the appeal of Isaid Awad against Pedro Ortega and others. The appeal originated from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, presided over by Judge Pedro P. Echarte, Jr. The court affirmed the lower tribunal's decision, referencing the standard of review for a motion to vacate under Rule 1.540(b). The appellate court noted that such rulings are reviewed for abuse of discretion and will only be overturned if no reasonable judge would have made the same decision. The legal representation included Florida Legal Consulting, P.A. for the appellant and Navarro Attorneys at Law for the appellees. The ruling is not final until any timely filed motions for rehearing are resolved.
