STAR FUNDING SOLUTIONS, LLC, APPELLANT,
v.
JOHN J. KRONDES, ET. AL., APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 2012-11-21
No. 4D11-3378
WARNER and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
101 So. 3d 403 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2012) Positive Treatment

Opinion of the Court
DAMOORGIAN, J.

DAMOORGIAN, J.

Star Funding Solutions, LLC, appeals the trial court’s order denying its motion to vacate the order dismissing with prejudice its foreclosure action against John and Florence Krondes, and others. We affirm and write only to address the impact of the dismissal with prejudice on any subsequent act of default of the terms of the mortgage between Star Funding and the Krondes. A new default, based on a different act or date of default not alleged in the dismissed action, creates a new cause of action. Singleton v. Greymar Assocs., 882 So.2d 1004, 1005 (Fla.2004). Thus, the trial court’s dismissal with prejudice of Star Funding’s first foreclosure action does not preclude Star Funding from instituting a new foreclosure action. Id. at 1006. (“[R]es judicata does not prevent mortgagees from foreclosing on a mortgage in successive foreclosure cases when the alleged dates of default are different.”).

Affirmed.

WARNER and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
