Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Amendments to Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure
March 6, 2025405 So. 3d 332
Summary
The court amended rules governing appeals from final and specified nonfinal orders, including creating a civil interlocutory appeal for orders denying statutory Stand Your Ground immunity claims. It declined to create a corresponding criminal interlocutory appeal because criminal interlocutory appeals are narrowly authorized and the proposed amendment would create procedural tension, while reiterating that prohibition remains available for such claims. The amendments take effect July 1, 2025, at 12:01 a.m.
