Supreme Court of Florida

Nils Futch, Petitioner v. Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Respondent

April 14, 201641 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 150

Summary

The court held that the Fifth District improperly exercised second-tier certiorari jurisdiction by reviewing the correctness of the circuit court's disposition rather than determining whether the circuit court departed from clearly established law in a manner resulting in a miscarriage of justice. Because no miscarriage of justice occurred, the court quashed the Fifth District's decision and remanded for reinstatement of the circuit court's decision.
