Supreme Court of Florida

Kimberly Ann Miles, Petitioners v. Daniel Weingrad, M.d., Respondent — Canady, J., Dissenting

May 21, 201540 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 279

Summary

Justice Canady's dissent argues that the Florida Supreme Court lacks conflict jurisdiction because the district court's one-sentence decision did not expressly address a question of law or reveal a conflict within its four corners. He maintains that the majority improperly relied on the reasoning of an earlier district court opinion rather than a conflict expressed in the decision under review, and would discharge the case. Justice Pariente, concurring, supports jurisdiction and argues that the decision's reference to the prior opinion sufficiently established the legal basis for review.
