Parker v. Tinsley
32 So. 3d 748; 2010 Fla. App. LEXIS 5239; 2010 WL 1543845
(Southern Reporter, Third Series)
Parker v. Tinsley
Opinion
Appellants seek review of the trial court’s order granting appellees’ motion for relief from judgment pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.540. We agree that the trial court committed reversible error by granting the motion because it sought to correct judicial error which is beyond the scope of rule 1.540. See Curbelo v. Ullman, 571 So.2d 443, 444-45 (Fla. 1990) (holding that rule 1.540 does not provide relief from judicial error which must be corrected by way of a motion for new trial or rehearing pursuant Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.530 or an appeal). Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s order granting relief under rule 1.540.
REVERSED.
