SWANICK v. LORISH (2018)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Cindy SWANICK, Individually and as Personal Representative of Gwendolyn Harvey–Hamp, Appellant, v. Patrick LORISH, Appellee.

Case No. 5D17–571

Decided: May 25, 2018

Cindy Swanick, Ocala, pro se. Lorenzo Ramunno, of Ramunno Law Firm, P.A., Ocala, for Appellee.

Cindy Swanick, individually and as personal representative for Gwendolyn Harvey–Hamp, appeals an order granting a motion to strike filed by Lorenzo Ramunno, Esq., Swanick's former attorney, in Swanick's mother's probate case. We reverse the portion of the order that prohibits Swanick or her agents from disseminating, publishing or communicating, in any form whatsoever, contents of the probate case and all related matters because the trial court failed to conduct a proper constitutional inquiry. See Fox v. Hamptons at Metrowest Condo. Ass'n, 223 So.3d 453 (Fla. 5th DCA 2017). The order is affirmed in all other respects.¹

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part.
