Supreme Court of Florida

Roman Ramirez, Petitioner v. Charles H. McCravy, Respondent

May 20, 201035 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 279

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court discharged its jurisdiction and dismissed the petition for review, concluding that it had improperly granted jurisdiction to consider the Third District’s decision. The Court noted that administrative tolling orders cannot extend a statutory limitations period absent a factual link between the closure and the plaintiff’s delay, and it affirmed the Third District’s holding on that point. Justice Pariente’s concurrence agrees, while Justice Lewis’s dissent argues the Court should not have dismissed the case.
