Opinion
FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D18-1654 _____________________________ NANCY WANNALL and GARY WANNALL, Appellants, v. GADSDEN COUNTY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, and TOWN OF HAVANA, Appellees. _____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Gadsden County.
Francis Allman, Judge.
March 20, 2019
PER CURIAM.
Appellants seek review of an order granting summary judgment in favor of Appellees. We find any foreseeable zone of risk did not extend to Appellants. Accordingly, Appellees did not owe a duty of care to Appellants, and we affirm the trial court’s order. See Parker v. Murphy, 510 So. 2d 990 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987) (affirming summary judgment in favor of the sheriff after a prisoner twice escaped and attacked appellant and her husband holding there was no special relationship between the sheriff and appellant, and thus, no duty of care).
AFFIRMED.
MAKAR, WINOKUR, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
