Opinion
No. 71-281.
July 20, 1971.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; John H. Moore, II, Judge.
Ray Sandstrom, of Sandstrom Hodge, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.
Thomas P. Quinn, III, and Bryson K. Lovejoy, Sp. Asst. City Prosecutor, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.
Mr. Sandstrom was convicted in the Municipal Court of the City of Fort Lauderdale of engaging in the occupation of attorney-at-law without first having obtained a municipal occupational license as required by ordinance. The conviction was affirmed on appeal to the circuit court, and a further appeal to the Supreme Court resulted in the cause being transferred to this court for disposition. We treat the appeal as a petition for writ of certiorari and deny the same upon the authority of Sandstrom v. City of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.App. 1961, 133 So.2d 755; Louis K. Liggett Co. v. Amos, 1932, 104 Fla. 609, 141 So. 153; Singer Sewing Machine Co. v. Brickell, 1914, 233 U.S. 304, 34 S.Ct. 493, 58 L.Ed. 974; Southwestern Oil Co. v.
