Opinion of the Court
BARFIELD, J.

BARFIELD, J.

We continue to adhere to the rule that Florida courts may interfere in the internal affairs of a private association only under exceptional circumstances. See the court’s discussion in Florida High School Athletic Association v. Melbourne Central Catholic High School, 867 So. 2d 1281 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004). Having found that imposition of the injunction in this case is not supported by any such exceptional circumstances, we REVERSE.

VAN NORTWICK and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
