Synopsis

Orange Federal Savings & Loan Association sought leave to file a belated motion for rehearing based on discovering that the U.S. Supreme Court's de la Cuesta opinion contained an error regarding the effective date of a federal regulation that was critical to the appellate court's decision. The court denied the motion for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because the mandate had already issued and the case had concluded.


Holding

The court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to consider the motion because the mandate issued on July 11, 1983, during the January 1983 term, and the case has concluded. Once a term ends and the mandate issues, the court has no jurisdiction over the cause.


Headnotes

[1] A court loses jurisdiction over a case after its mandate has issued and the relevant term of court has ended.

[2] A motion for rehearing or clarification filed after the court has lost jurisdiction will be denied for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

Opinion of the Court
COBB, Judge.

ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND/OR CLARIFICATION

COBB, Judge.

The appellant, Orange Federal Savings & Loan Association, has filed a motion pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.300(a), seeking leave to file a belated motion for rehearing and/or clarification. The basis for the motion is the representation by the movant that it has been informed that the United States Supreme Court erred in its de la Cuesta1 opinion in regard to its designation of the effective date of a 1976 regulation promulgated by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. That date was critical to the result of our opinion in this case.

In our opinion in Orange Federal Savings & Loan Assn. v. Dykes, 433 So. 2d 642 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983), we relied, as did the appellant, on the references in the slip opinion of the de la Cuesta 102 S.Ct. at 3019, 3031 (fn. 24), designating July 31, 1976, as the effective date of the due-on-sale clause regulatory amendment now codified as 12 C.F.R. § 545.8-3(f). It now appears that, prior to publication in the United States Reports, these references were deleted when it was called to the attention of Justice Blackmun by counsel for the Federal Home Bank Board that while the provisions of section (g) of the new regulation became effective on July 31, 1976, those of section (f) became effective on June 8, 1976. This minor disparity had no bearing on the outcome of the de la Cuesta opinion, but it would have been determinative in our case and would have mandated a contrary result. We dealt with a mortgage executed on July 30, 1976.

But there is no relief available to the movant in this Court at this time. Our opinion was filed on June 23, 1983, and the mandate issued on July 11, 1983, during the January, 1983 term of this Court. See § 35.10, Fla.Stat. (1981). The July, 1983 term began on July 12, 1983 and we are now in the January, 1984 term. We have no jurisdiction over the cause at this time. See State Farm Mutual Automobile Ins. Co. v. Judges of the District Court of Appeal, Fifth District, 405 So. 2d 980 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981). As the Florida Supreme Court said in that case: “All things must have an end.” This case has ended. The motion is denied for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
