PSHS ALPHA PARTNERS LTD v. STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

PSHS ALPHA PARTNERS, LTD., etc., Appellant, v. STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee.

No. 3D21-1615

Decided: December 15, 2021

Before SCALES, LINDSEY and GORDO, JJ.

Daly & Barber, P.A., and Christina M. Kalin, John C. Daly and Matthew C. Barber (Plantation), for appellant. Kubicki Draper, P.A., and Jarred S. Dichek, Caryn L. Bellus and Barbara E. Fox, for appellee.

ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

PSHS Alpha Partners, Ltd. d/b/a Lake Worth Surgical Center a/a/o Tiara Stovall appeals a July 19, 2021 order entered by the county court that dismissed, on grounds of forum non conveniens, lower court case number 20-18259SP. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company properly and commendably confesses error, conceding that the trial court should have transferred, rather than dismissed, the action.¹ We, therefore, reverse the July 19, 2021 order and remand for further proceedings in this matter.

Reversed and remanded.
