Original Court Document: View Document
The Third District Court of Appeal of Florida issued an opinion on November 30, 2022, affirming the decisions of the lower tribunal in cases nos. 3D21-2235 and 3D21-2236, involving Maria Victoria Castro as the appellant and Luz Marina Castro as the appellee. The appeals originated from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, presided over by Judge Jorge E. Cueto, with legal representation provided by Ellis Law Group, P.L., and Golden Glasko Associates, P.A. The court emphasized the standard for summary judgment, referencing Scott v. Harris and Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., detailing that when conflicting accounts are presented, a court should not endorse a version of events that is clearly contradicted by the record. The court reiterated that the existence of a factual dispute does not obstruct a summary judgment unless there is a genuine issue of material fact. The ruling is not final until any timely filed motion for rehearing is resolved.
