Robinson v. Espinosa
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 17, 1987 · Barkdull, Hendry, Jorgenson
502 So. 2d 527; 12 Fla. L. Weekly 545; 1987 Fla. App. LEXIS 6794 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Robinson v. Espinosa

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Espinosa, the owner of the apartment building where Robinson was injured by a tenant’s dog. The trial court’s basis for the summary judgment was that Espinosa, the landowner, was not liable for Robinson’s injuries because the dog belonged to a tenant. We reverse on the authority of Noble v. Yorke, 490 So.2d 29 (Fla. 1986), and remand for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
