Berlin v. Reid

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District

755 So. 2d 731 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2000)

Opinion

Nos. 1D97-4637, 1D98-2900 (Consolidated).

Opinion filed March 9, 2000.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Madison County, James Roy Bean, Judge.

William Kemper Jennings, Fort Walton Beach, for Appellant.

Gayle Smith Swedmark and Barbara C. Fromm of Skelding, Labasky, Corry, Hauser, Jolly, Metz Daws, P.A., Tallahassee for Appellees Sheriff Harrell Reid and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department; John C. Cooper and Laurie B. Woodham of Cooper, Coppins, Monroe, P.A., Tallahassee, for Appellees Sheriff Joe C. Peavy and the Madison County Sheriff's Department.


In these consolidated appeals, appellant seeks review of final summary judgments entered against her in a wrongful death action. The record shows that appellant's decedent was a passenger in a stolen automobile fleeing from the police. Based upon these facts, we conclude as a matter of law that appellees owed no duty of care to appellant's decedent. See Robinson v. City of Detroit, 571 N.W.2d 34 (Mich.Ct.App. 1997), appeal granted, 587 N.W.2d 637 (Mich. 1998); Jackson v. Oliver, 514 N.W.2d 195 (Mich.Ct.App. 1994). In view of our disposition, we do not reach appellant's remaining issues.

AFFIRMED.

ERVIN, MINER and VAN NORTWICK, JJ., CONCUR.
