Mendes v. Citizens Property Insurance Corporation

Opinion

DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA SECOND DISTRICT RUBEN MENDES, Appellant, v. CITIZENS PROPERTY INSURANCE CORPORATION, Appellee.

No. 2D2024-0128

January 22, 2025 Appeal from the County Court for Hillsborough County; J. Logan Murphy, Judge.

Pierre A. Louis and Alibia N. White of Louis Law Group, PLLC, Miami, for Appellant.

Maureen G. Pearcy of Paul R. Pearcy, P.A., Miami, for Appellee.

ROTHSTEIN-YOUAKIM, Judge.

Ruben Mendes appeals from an order entering final judgment in favor of Citizens Property Insurance Corporation. Mendes contends that the trial court erroneously treated Citizens' motion for summary disposition as a motion for summary judgment. Citizens confesses error on that point. We therefore reverse and remand for further proceedings without expressing "any opinion as to the extent of the error." Pederson v. Suntrust Mortg., Inc., 145 So. 3d 996, 997 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014) (quoting Gulf Power Co. v. Ill.-Fla. Land Co., 132 So. 109, 110 (Fla. 1931)).

Reversed and remanded.

NORTHCUTT and SILBERMAN, JJ., Concur.

Opinion subject to revision prior to official publication.
