SIXTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL

STATE OF FLORIDA

Case Nos. 6D2023-2995 Lower Tribunal No. 2020-CV-23-A-O

JAMES D. SHELLEY and BARBARA E. SHELLEY, Petitioners, v.

ORANGE COUNTY,

Respondent.

Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Circuit Court for Orange County.

Patricia L. Strowbridge, Judge.

October 25, 2024

PER CURIAM.

James D. Shelley and Barbara E. Shelley (collectively “Petitioners”) seek a writ of certiorari quashing the circuit court’s affirmance of the Special Magistrate’s “Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order” regarding violations of the Orange County Code. Petitioners contend that a writ should be issued because the circuit court failed to observe the essential requirements of the law when it affirmed the Special Magistrate’s order. Finding no error in the circuit court’s determination that it lacked jurisdiction, we deny the petition. Cf. Nelson v. McNeill, 48 Fla. L.

2 Weekly D941 (Fla. 6th DCA May 5, 2023) (“Because judicial labor remains to determine the amount of the monetary sanction against Nelson, we dismiss that portion of the appeal. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.170(b) (limiting appeals to orders that finally determine a right or obligation of an interested person as defined in the Florida Probate Code.”)). PETITION DENIED. NARDELLA, WOZNIAK and MIZE, JJ., concur. Rebecca E. Rhoden, Jonathan P. Huels, and Krista M. Runte, of Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster, Kantor & Reed, P.A., Orlando, for Petitioners. Jeffrey J. Newton, County Attorney, and Georgiana Holmes, Deputy County Attorney, and James Harwood, Assistant County Attorney, of the Orange County Attorney’s Office, Orlando, for Respondent. NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF TIMELY FILED
