State ex Rel. Booth v. Byington

Supreme Court of Florida
Sep 16, 1965
178 So. 2d 1 (Fla. 1965)

Opinion

No. 33963.

July 14, 1965. Rehearing Denied September 16, 1965.

Appeal from the District Court of Appeal.

Douglass Steinmeyer, W. Dexter Douglass and Edgar C. Booth, Tallahassee, for appellants.

Walter Shelley and Raymond, Wilson, Karl Conway, Daytona Beach, for appellee.


We have taken jurisdiction of this appeal from a decision in an original prohibition proceeding in a District Court because of the view that the decision initially construed a controlling provision of the Florida Constitution. Article V, Section 4(2), Florida Constitution, F.S.A.; State ex rel. Booth v. Byington, Fla.App., 168 So.2d 164.

We have heard oral arguments and have examined the record and briefs. The appellant has failed to demonstrate that the trial judge has exceeded or proposes to exceed his jurisdiction. Any order which he ultimately enters will be subject to appropriate review on the merits. The District Court, therefore, committed no error in discharging the rule nisi in prohibition. Its judgment is affirmed.

It is so ordered.

THORNAL C.J., and THOMAS, ROBERTS, DREW, O'CONNELL and ERVIN, JJ., concur.
