Southeast First Leasing v. Koontz

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
May 17, 1983
431 So. 2d 333 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1983)

Opinion

No. 83-286.

May 17, 1983.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, George Orr, J.

Britton, Cohen, Kaufman Schantz and J. Robert Olian, Miami, for appellant.

William E. Kreuter, Bornstein, Petree, Cooper Marks, Giles, Hedrick Robinson and David C. Brennan, Orlando, for appellees.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and DANIEL S. PEARSON and FERGUSON, JJ.


The plaintiff appeals from an order transferring venue to Orange County. With the singular exception that the lease payments sued for were due in Dade County, virtually every pertinent contact with the case was with the transferee forum. The trial court's discretion was therefore so obviously properly exercised under Sec. 47.122, Fla. Stat. (1981), e.g., Peterson, Howell Heather v. O'Neill, 314 So.2d 808 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975), that this appeal is entirely frivolous. We have accordingly granted the appellees' several motions for attorney's fees under Sec. 57.105, Fla. Stat. (1981).

Affirmed.
