Supreme Court of Florida

Rolando P. Ruiz v. Tenet Hialeah Healthsystem, Inc., Respondents. — Polston, J., Dissenting

December 20, 2018260 So. 3d 977

Summary

Justice Polston dissented from review of the case, concluding that the district court's decision did not expressly and directly conflict with the decisions identified in the jurisdictional briefing. The dissent reasoned that the cited decisions involved materially different evidentiary or legal issues, while the district court determined that the record lacked evidence supporting negligence or causation. The dissent would therefore conclude that the Florida Supreme Court lacked constitutional authority to review the case.
