Supreme Court of Florida

Juan A. Salinas v. Sue Ann Ramsey

January 25, 2018

Summary

The Court held that Florida law permits post-judgment discovery to collect a federal money judgment issued by a federal court in Florida throughout the judgment's twenty-year enforceable life. Such discovery is part of the final enforcement process, not an independent action or proceeding subject to the five-year limitations period. The Court answered the certified question accordingly.
