Duran v. Lapin

Florida District Courts of Appeal
Duran v. Lapin, 971 So. 2d 913 (2007)
2007 Fla. App. LEXIS 19720; 32 Fla. L. Weekly Fed. D 2935
Cope, Green, Wells

Duran v. Lapin

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the order striking the appellant’s pleadings. Trial courts have discretion to strike a party’s pleadings or dismiss claims for fraud on the court. See Rios v. Moore, 902 So.2d 181 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005); Storm v. Allied Universal Corp., 842 So.2d 245 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003); O'Vahey v. Miller, 644 So.2d 550 (Fla. 3d DCA 1994). The record before us does not support the appellant’s contention that the trial court abused its discretion in this regard.

Affirmed.
