EnglishEspañolSimplified EnglishEspañol Fácil
An appeal from the Florida First District Court of Appeal raises a legal question regarding the jurisdiction of the Florida Supreme Court to hear the appellant's case, as outlined in Article V, Section 3(b)(3) of the Florida Constitution. The court certifies this question due to the absence of controlling precedent from the Florida Supreme Court on the matter. The Clerk is instructed to send certified copies of the order and the briefs to the Florida Supreme Court. Additionally, the current court retains jurisdiction over the case, putting proceedings on hold until further notice.
