IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE SEVENTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT
IN AND FOR BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA
CITIZENS PROPERTY INSURANCE APPEAL: CACE21-000004 (AP)
CORPORATION,
CASE NO.: COWE20-016081 (82)
Appeliant,
v.
NORVAL WATSON,
Appellee.
/
El PPEAL
TO THE ICT COURT OF APPEAL
THIS CAUSE came before the Court on its own motion to transfer the instant
appeal to the Fourth District Court of Appeal. Pursuant to amended section 26.012(1),
Florida Statutes, effective January 1, 2021, the Florida circuit courts no longer have
jurisdiction over appellate court reviews of certain county court orders or judgments. After
review of the maintenance records, and noting that the appeal was filed on January 4,
2021, it is apparent that this Court lacks jurisdiction in which to rule on this appeal and
that it should have been filed in the district court.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to
TRANSFER this cause to the Fourth District Court of Appeal and close this case.
See Fla. R. App. P. 9.040(b)(1) (“If a proceeding is commenced in an inappropriate court,
that court shall transfer the cause to an appropriate court.”).
DONE AND ORDERED in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida, January
See 2021.
