Florida District Courts of Appeal, 2000

Carrin v. Goode

Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 24, 2000 · Griffin, Orfinger, Thompson

758 So. 2d 1131; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 3531; 2000 WL 301062 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Concurring in Part

GRIFFIN, J.,

concurring in part; dissenting in part.

I believe we do have jurisdiction pursuant to Article 5, Section 4(b)(3) of the Florida Constitution, so dismissal is not appropriate. Notwithstanding my doubts about the trial court’s power to award an automobile to a cohabitant who never owned it, given the panel’s affirmance in the related case (5D99-781), we are bound to affirm in this case.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

THOMPSON, J., and ORFINGER, M., Senior Judge, concur. GRIFFIN, J., concurs in part and dissents in part, with opinion.
