v.
JANE EHRLICH, WILLIAM FAHEE, ET AL., APPELLEES

Fla. 5th DCA | 2001-01-19
No. 5D00-1740
THOMPSON, C.J., and PLEUS, J., concur.
776 So. 2d 1011 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (2001) Positive Treatment

Opinion of the Court
HARRIS, J.

HARRIS, J.

Goff was the successful candidate for the Seminole County School Board who, after the election, sued his opponent for allegedly violating the provisions of Chapter 106, Florida Statutes, by not reporting a sup porter’s payment of a pre-election and post-election legal challenge to Goffs qualifying residency as a contribution to the campaign. Because we find that Chapter 106 does not confer a private right of action,1 we affirm the trial court’s dismissal of the complaint.

AFFIRMED.

THOMPSON, C.J., and PLEUS, J., concur. . See Fischer v. Metcalf, 543 So. 2d 785 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989).
