USAA CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY v. MSP RECOVERY CLAIMS SERIES LLC (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

USAA CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY, et al., Appellant(s)/Petitioner(s), v. MSP RECOVERY CLAIMS, SERIES LLC, et al., Appellee(s)/Respondent(s).

CASE NO.: 3D21-0748

Decided: March 22, 2021

We accept Appellees' characterization of the March 12, 2021, order under review as not constituting an order disqualifying counsel in any manner, but constituting instead only an order preliminarily rejecting certain arguments against disqualification and reserving the issue of disqualification for determination based on a future evidentiary hearing. Accordingly, the March 12, 2021, order does not disqualify Appellants from serving as counsel in the underlying case, and therefore is not an appealable order under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130(a)(3)(E). For this reason, we grant Appellees' Amended and Revised Motion to Dismiss Appeal, and deny Appellants' Emergency Motion for a Temporary Stay as moot.

Upon consideration of Appellees' Motion for Appellate Attorneys' Fees, it is ordered that said Motion is hereby denied.

EMAS, C.J., and LOGUE and HENDON, JJ., concur.
