District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Oct 20, 1983
438 So. 2d 440 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1983)

Opinion

Nos. 82-660, 82-1036.

September 14, 1983. Motion for Rehearing Stricken October 20, 1983.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Broward County, J. Cail Lee, J.

Simring Glaskin, P.A., Hollywood, and Edna L. Caruso, West Palm Beach, for appellants Kotcher.

Tom Bush of Law Offices of Tom Bush, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellees.


We affirm because we do not believe the appellants have demonstrated reversible error in the trial court's judgment, which was principally predicated upon a determination that the appellants' conduct in keeping and training dogs for attack and security purposes constituted a nuisance in the residential neighborhood where all of the parties resided. The appellees have conceded that the judgment does not apply to the appellants' posting of signs pursuant to the provisions of section 767.04, Florida Statutes (1981). We also construe the judgment in that fashion, and as construed, we affirm the judgment in all respects.

ANSTEAD, C.J., and HURLEY, J., concur.

BERANEK, J., dissents with opinion.


I would reverse at least portions of the final judgment below. I believe the injunction to be substantially broader than necessary.
