Opinion
No. 90-1206.
August 1, 1990. Clarification, Rehearing and Certification Denied September 19, 1990.
Petition for writ of certiorari to the Circuit Court for Broward County; Estella May Moriarty, Judge.
John R. Sutton, South Miami, and Allison Doliner Hockman, Coral Gables, for petitioners.
Allsworth, Doumar, Cazel, Curtis Cross, P.A., and Nancy Little Hoffmann of Nancy Little Hoffmann, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for respondent.
Petitioners seek review by certiorari of an order of the trial court denying abatement or stay pending conclusion of an earlier suit in Louisiana involving essentially the same parties and subject matter. We grant the petition, quash the order, and direct the trial court to stay the proceedings. See Florida Ins. Guar. Ass'n v. Celotex Corp., 547 So.2d 660 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989); Lightsey v. Williams, 526 So.2d 764 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988).
CERTIORARI GRANTED.
