Supreme Court transfers FACDL case to 2d Circuit

This was entered in the docket in the quo warranto writ filed by FACDL. Background and source documents can be found at this link.

Here's the latest entry on the docket (dated October 18, 2007):
The petition for writ of quo warranto is hereby transferred to the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit in and for Leon County, Florida. See Harvard v. Singletary, 733 So. 2d 1020 (Fla. 1999); Vance v. Wellman, 222 So. 2d 449 (Fla. 2d DCA 1969). The transfer of this case should not be construed as an adjudication or comment on the merits of the petition, nor as a determination that the transferee court has jurisdiction or that the petition has been properly denominated as a petition for writ of quo warranto. The transferee court should not interpret the transfer of this case as an indication that it must or should reach the merits of the petition. The transferee court shall treat the petition as if it had been originally filed there on the date it was filed in this Court. Any determination concerning whether a filing fee shall be applicable to this case shall be made by the transferee court. The Motion for Oral Argument is hereby denied. Any future pleadings filed regarding this case should be filed in the above mentioned circuit court at 301 South Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32301.


Thus, the case's status as far as the Supreme Court hearing it at this point is CLOSED. That's all I know. Stay tuned.
