Supreme Court of Florida
Roman Ramirez, Petitioner v. Charles H. McCravy, Respondent — Pariente, J., Concurring
May 20, 201035 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 279
Summary
Justice Pariente, in a concurring opinion, agrees that the Florida Supreme Court should discharge jurisdiction and uphold the Third District Court of Appeal’s decision that administrative tolling orders cannot be used to extend a statutory limitations period absent a showing that the courthouse closure caused the filing delay. The concurrence emphasizes that the purpose of the tolling orders is to aid litigants directly affected by emergencies, not to provide a windfall of extra time.
