Dyck-O'Neal, Inc. v. Lanham
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 24, 2017 · Makar, Ray, Wolf
214 So. 3d 802; 2017 WL 1437374; 2017 Fla. App. LEXIS 5651 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Dyck-O'Neal, Inc. v. Lanham

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Because the circuit court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to consider Appellant’s independent action at law for a deficiency decree in this post-foreclosure proceeding, the order on appeal is void, and hereby quashed. See Higgins v. Dyck-O’Neal, Inc., 201 So.3d 157, 166-67 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016) (holding that a party is not entitled to pursue a separate action for deficiency judgment where the foreclosure complaint includes a prayer for a deficiency judgment and the foreclosure court reserves jurisdiction to enter a deficiency judgment). In so ruling, we certify conflict with Garcia v. Dyck-O’Neal, Inc., 178 So.3d 433 (Fla. 3d DCA 2015); Dyck-O’Neal, Inc. v. Hendrick, 200 So.3d 181 (Fla. 5th DCA 2016); Gdovin v. Dyck-O’Neal, Inc., 198 So.3d 986 (Fla. 2d DCA 2016); Dyck-O’Neal, Inc. v. McKenna, 198 So.3d 1038 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016).
