Southeastern Telephone Company v. Boyd

Supreme Court of Florida
Aug 11, 1959
114 So. 2d 1 (Fla. 1959)

Opinion

August 11, 1959.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Leon County, Hugh M. Taylor, J.

Charles S. Ausley and D. Fred McMullen, of Ausley, Ausley McMullen, Tallahassee, for petitioner.

Lewis W. Petteway and Guyte P. McCord, Jr., Tallahassee, for Florida Railroad and Public Utilities Commission.

James Messer, Jr., Leo L. Foster, W.J. Oven, Jr., and Caldwell, Parker, Foster, Madigan, Oven Moriarty, Tallahassee, for City of Tallahassee, City of Valparaiso, City of Crestview, City of Madison, City of Fort Walton Beach, City of Greenville and City of Niceville, Florida, respondents.


Because the petition for certiorari suggested potential jurisdiction we issued the writ and the matter has been heard on the question of jurisdiction as well as on the merits.

A careful study of the supporting record in the light of the well-prepared and illuminating briefs leads us to the conclusion that the decision of the Court of Appeal does not collide with a prior decision of this Court on the same point of law. Article V, Section 4, Florida Constitution, F.S.A.

Finding as we do that there is no point of conflict between the decision submitted for review and any prior decision of this Court on the same point of law, the writ must be and it is hereby discharged.

It is so ordered.

TERRELL, Acting C.J., and HOBSON, ROBERTS, DREW and THORNAL, JJ. concur.
