Supreme Court of Florida
Sep 21, 1966
189 So. 2d 629 (Fla. 1966)

Opinion

No. 34625.

April 20, 1966. Rehearing Denied September 21, 1966.

Writ of Certiorari to the District Court of Appeal, Second District.

Lubin Samuels and Nelson, Beckett Nelson, St. Petersburg, for petitioner.

Bussey, Simmons Owen, St. Petersburg, for respondents.


We have heard oral argument on the petition for certiorari to review a decision of the Court of Appeal, Second District, 177 So.2d 497, because of apparent jurisdiction in this court.

After oral argument and a careful study of the record and briefs, we conclude this court is without jurisdiction in the matter because of lack of a direct conflict as required by the Constitution, Article V, Section 4, F.S.A.

The writ is discharged.

THORNAL, C.J., and THOMAS, O'CONNELL, CALDWELL and BARNS PAUL D., (Retired), JJ., concur.
