State, Department of Corrections v. Niosi
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 1, 1989 · Glickstein, Gunther, Walden
552 So. 2d 244; 14 Fla. L. Weekly 2536; 1989 Fla. App. LEXIS 6086; 1989 WL 129118 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State, Department of Corrections v. Niosi

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

While appellant raises two issues, we conclude one of the issues to be determinative, thereby eliminating the necessity for consideration of the other.

The jury concluded that the plaintiff suffered no injury, therefore, he was entitled to only nominal damages. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment awarding $20,000 in damages and remand with direction to enter a new judgment reducing the award amount for the plaintiff to nominal damages only.

GLICKSTEIN, WALDEN and GUNTHER, JJ., concur.
