Security National Bank of Omaha v. Corporate Computer Group, Inc.

Florida District Courts of Appeal
Security National Bank of Omaha v. Corporate Computer Group, Inc., 847 So. 2d 573 (2003)
2003 Fla. App. LEXIS 8815; 2003 WL 21360388
Padovano, Polston, Webster

Security National Bank of Omaha v. Corporate Computer Group, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant seeks review of a non-final order denying its motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. We have jurisdiction. Fla. R.App. P. 9.130(a)(3)(C)(i). On its face, appellee’s third amended com-*574plamt (including exhibit) was legally insufficient to plead a basis for personal jurisdiction over appellant because it neither pled the alleged basis for jurisdiction pursuant to the language of section 48.193(1), Florida Statutes (2001), nor alleged facts which, if true, would be sufficient to support jurisdiction. See Venetian Salami Co. v. Parthenais, 554 So.2d 499, 502 (Fla. 1989) (citing what is now Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.070(h)). Accordingly, the trial court should have granted appellant’s motion to dismiss. Because it did not, we reverse, and remand with directions that it enter an order vacating its prior order and dismissing, as to appellant, appellee’s third amended complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction.

REVERSED and REMANDED, with directions.

WEBSTER, PADOVANO and POLSTON, JJ., concur.
