CAPRIO v. CASTRO (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Louis CAPRIO, et al., Petitioners, v. Blanca Ledy CASTRO, Respondent.

No. 3D19-1248

Decided: January 22, 2020

Before EMAS, C.J., and SCALES and LOBREE, JJ.

Matthew Seth Sarelson, Miami, for petitioners. Billbrough & Marks, P.A., and G. Bart Billbrough, Coral Gables, for respondent.

ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

Petitioners filed the instant petition seeking certiorari review of the trial court's May 28, 2019 order that granted respondent's motion for leave to file an amended complaint to add a claim for punitive damages. Respondent has confessed error, noting that the trial court failed to comply with the procedural requirements of Section 768.72 of the Florida Statutes. See Cat Cay Yacht Club, Inc. v. Diaz, 264 So. 3d 1071, 1074-75 (Fla. 3d DCA 2019). In light of respondent's proper and commendable confession of error, we grant the petition and quash the trial court's May 28, 2019 order.

Petition granted; order quashed.

PER CURIAM.
