CORDARO v. DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAY SAFETY AND MOTOR VEHICLES (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Joseph CORDARO, Petitioner, v. DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAY SAFETY AND MOTOR VEHICLES, Respondent.

No. 4D21-1766

Decided: August 25, 2021

Heather Rose Cramer of Heather Cramer Law, Palm Beach Gardens, for petitioner. Christie S. Utt, General Counsel, and Elana J. Jones, Assistant General Counsel, Tallahassee, for respondent.

Petitioner seeks second-tier certiorari review of a circuit court order quashing her license suspension and remanding for a further hearing. In Gordon v. State, Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles, 166 So. 3d 902 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015), this Court rejected the argument that the validity of a license suspension is moot and that further proceedings are not required where the suspension expires during the pendency of the appellate proceedings. The circuit court followed binding precedent from this Court and did not depart from the essential requirements of law. We deny the petition and certify conflict with McLaughlin v. Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles, 128 So. 3d 815 (Fla. 2d DCA 2012).

Petition denied. Conflict certified.

Per Curiam.

Warner, Klingensmith, and Kuntz, JJ., concur.
