3d DCA Watch Special Edition -- UM's "Wasteful and Frivolous in the Extreme" Appeal!

Are you an ardent 'Cane?

Do you only dream in U?

Do you in fact have a vanity Cane license plate which means you can share in the glory of the football team as if your old crinkled self personally scored that winning touchdown?

But hey it works both ways, if you self-identify and live vicariously through your college from 20 years ago you have to suffer their losses as well as well as bask in their wins, as if you yourself were liberated from Egypt (oops, still have Passover on the brain....).

So suffer you must in this special Friday Bunker Blast™ involving a scathing special concurrence from Judge Schwartz in a tragic med mal case out of Jackson Memorial:

SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge (specially concurring).

As evidenced by the fact that we have, by separate orders, granted the appellee’s motions for assessment of attorney’s fees against appellants as a sanction under Section 57.105, Fla. Stat., and Rule 9.410, Fla. R. App. P., this case is wasteful and frivolous in the extreme. I believe that it deserves only a quiet interment in the form of a PCA.

Aww, come on judge, tell us how you really feel!

Big big win from 3d DCA maven Barbara Green -- congrats!!

3d DCA Watch -- I'm Only Sleeping Edition

Hi kids!

For once Tallahassee kept their grubby hands out of it and thus the carefully packaged written utterances have been released from the concrete bunker precisely on schedule, much like well-timed stink bombs at a high school assembly.

So let us not prevaricate, as it is notably apodictic that we are poised to decline the parties' invitation.

Oops -- I was channeling my favorite judge there for a moment.

How about we start by declaring Barbara Green the world's finest 3d DCA appellate lawyer -- just this week alone she is two for two.

Ok ok -- Lauri Waldman Ross won one today, too.

Do you ladies ever lose?

I have carefully reviewed this week's opinions for a whiff of anything remotely interesting, and have decided to translate them into the ancient language of Euskara so as to stay awake and find a way to finish this blog po........

ZZZZZ

Huh?

Right, as I was saying, you'll be surprised to learn that the 3d overruled the 11th Circuit sitting in its appellate capacity, which had affirmed a trial ruling against United Auto.

See what I mean?

Let's see if this is more interesting -- let me provide the core holding of the Carlton Fields malpractice case, except translated into Dutch (not all of you are Basque separatists):

Wij gaan met het proefhof akkoord. NAI de eisen van het procesmisdrijf zijn volledig verstoken van verdienste. Zoals het proef gevonden hof, en het omvangrijke verslag openbaren, waren beide firma's bewonderenswaardig gepresteerd tijdens de vertegenwoordiging van NAI, en resultaat van het federale proces gebaseerd, niet op het ontoereikende gedrag van de procureurs, maar op de mislukking van NAI en Estrin om een gebeëindigd contract te bereiken.

Now that I find mentally stimulating.
