NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED HOLLY MORGAN AND DANIEL SPRINGEN v. CHRISTOPHER SCOTT HEWITT AS PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ESTATE OF WILBUR HEWITT (2014)

Petitioners, Holly D. Morgan and Daniel E. Springen, seek second-tier certiorari review of an appellate decision of the circuit court, which dismissed their appeal ¹ of a non-final order granting immediate possession of real property in favor of the Respondent, Christopher Scott Hewitt, as personal representative of the estate of Wilbur Hewitt.²  Petitioners have resided on the property for the past five years and claim to have an ownership interest in the property.   Under these circumstances, we find the circuit court's clearly erroneous conclusion—that it lacked jurisdiction on the basis that a plenary appeal would provide an adequate remedy for Petitioners—constituted a departure from established law resulting in a miscarriage of justice.   See generally Custer Med. Ctr. v. United Auto. Ins. Co., 62 So.3d 1086 (Fla.2010).   Accordingly, we grant the petition and remand to the circuit court to treat Petitioners' request for review as a petition for writ of certiorari and consider its merits.

PETITION GRANTED.

LAWSON, EVANDER and BERGER, JJ., concur.
