Eric Green, Petitioner v. Calvin Cottrell, Respondents

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court held that the four‑year limitations period in § 768.28(14) governs Green’s state law claims, not the one‑year period in § 95.11(5)(g), and that the circuit court erred in dismissing his federal claims for alleged failure to exhaust administrative remedies. It quashed the First District Court of Appeal’s decision and remanded for further proceedings. Justice Polston, concurring in part and dissenting in part, disagreed with the majority’s interpretation of the statute of limitations for the state claims.
