Schmitt v. Boyle

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
Jun 16, 1992
598 So. 2d 165 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1992)

Opinion

No. 91-2649.

April 28, 1992. Rehearing Denied June 16, 1992.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Steven P. Robinson, J.

Robert M. Brake, Coral Gables, for appellant.

John J. Boyle, Miami, for appellee.

Before HUBBART, FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.


Smith, as personal representative of the estate of Blanche Boyle, appeals from a nonfinal order denying a motion for garnishment and injunctive relief. We hold that the funds used to post the supersedeas bond are not garnishable while in the depository of the court. See Leatherman v. Gimourginas, 192 So.2d 301 (Fla. 3d DCA 1966) (funds in custodia legis are not garnishable).

Accordingly, we affirm without prejudice and remand with directions that, upon proper application for return of the bond, the trial court should specify when the funds are to be released and notify all parties involved of that fact.

Affirmed and remanded with directions.
