REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY v. OLSON (2019)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

R.J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, Appellant, v. Michael OLSON, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Floyd Olson, Appellee.

No. 1D18-4938

Decided: February 28, 2019

David C. Reeves, Robert B. Parrish and Jeffrey A. Yarbrough of Moseley, Prichard, Parrish, Knight & Jones, Jacksonville; Jason T. Burnette and Stephanie E. Parker of Jones Day, Atlanta, Georgia; Charles R.A. Morse of Jones Day, New York, NY, for Appellant. Gary Paige of Gordon & Doner, P.A., Davie; Celene H. Humphries, Maegen Peek Luka and Thomas J. Seider of Brannock & Humphries, Tampa; Charles Farah and Eddie Farah of Farah & Farah, Jacksonville; Randy Rosenblum of Dolan Dobrinsky & Rosenblum, LLP, Miami; Richard J. Lantinberg, Norwood S. Wilner and Jay Plotkin of The Wilner Firm, Jacksonville, for Appellee.

Because the circuit court's September 28, 2018, “Order Denying Defendant's renewed Motion for a Directed Verdict or Alternatively for a New Trial,” was final, the notice of appeal filed on November 28, 2018, was untimely. Accordingly, this is appeal is dismissed. Appellant may seek relief pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.540.

Per Curiam.

Bilbrey, Winokur, and M.K. Thomas, JJ., concur.
