District Court of Appeal of Florida

Petition for writ of certiorari is granted, and denial of county's motion for dismissal of a negligence suit on grounds of sovereign immunity is quashed, where the public duty doctrine exception to the statutory waiver of sovereign immunity applied to the case since police officers have no duty to act with care toward any one individual.
