JAMES E. BLANTON, AND SHARONLEE PIMENTAL, FOR THEMSELVES AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, APPELLEES

Fla. 2d DCA | 1994-04-29
No. 93-02409

Opinion of the Court
FRANK, Chief Judge.

FRANK, Chief Judge.

Galencare contends that the individual plaintiffs, Blanton, Pimental, and the persons represented by them in the action initiated pursuant to rule 1.220 of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, are not permitted to conjoin their claims in order to cross the circuit court’s dollar threshold jurisdiction. We reject the argument, affirm the trial court, and align ourselves with the Fifth District Court of Appeal. In Galen of Florida, Inc. v. Arscott, 629 So. 2d 856 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993), the Fifth District held that the circuit court’s dollar jurisdiction may Joe satisfied by aggregating the value of each plaintiffs claim. In so doing we certify that our decision conflicts with that of the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Plantation General Hospital Ltd. Partnership v. Johnson, 621 So. 2d 551 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993), review granted, 630 So. 2d 1100 (Fla.1993), and NME Hospitals, Inc. v. Johnson, 621 So. 2d 554 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993), review granted, 630 So. 2d 1100 (Fla.1993).

Affirmed.

SCHOONOVER and BLUE, JJ., concur.

    …ent officer as a second-degree felony. Notably, the trial court previously determined that the defendant was a habitual violent felony of [*625] fender. While habitual offender sanctions can not be imposed for life felonies, see e.g. Wiley v. State, 636 So. 2d 547 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994), the instant offense is no longer a life felony and, as a result, on remand the trial court may impose enhanced sanctions. We certify the following question as one of great public importance: WHETHER STATE V. IACOVONE, 660 So.…

    …WELLS, Justice. We have for review Galencare, Inc. v. Blanton, 636 So. 2d 547 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994), which at the time of release expressly and directly conflicted with the decisions in Plantation General Hospital Ltd. Partnership v.

The documents attached were from the sentence originally imposed in 1992 and not the sentence imposed after this court’s reversal and remand in 1994. See Wiley v. State, 636 So. 2d 547 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for reconsideration. If the trial court again concludes that the Iacovone decision is not relevant to this case, the pertinent portions of the record should be attached to the order. MICKLE,…
