Dixieland Assets v. Lewis
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided July 14, 2004 · Kahn, Lewis, Wolf
876 So. 2d 741; 2004 Fla. App. LEXIS 10465; 2004 WL 1562578 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Dixieland Assets v. Lewis

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Given the circuit court’s erroneous conclusion that petitioner is a corporation, we grant petitioner’s petition for a writ of certiorari and quash the circuit court’s order dismissing petitioner’s petition without prejudice to petitioner refiling a petition signed by a licensed attorney. See Riverwalk Apartments, L.P. v. RTM Gen. Contractors, Inc., 779 So.2d 537, 539 (Fla. 2d *742DCA 2000) (“A fictitious name is just that — a fiction involving the name of the real party in interest, and nothing more.”).

GRANTED.

WOLF, C.J., KAHN and LEWIS, JJ., concur.
