IN RE: FORFEITURE OF FOUR THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-SIX DOLLARS; 2007 CHEVROLET

No. 19-1670
Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (2021)

Opinion of the Court
Rose

Michael W. Schmid, Assistant City Attorney, Tampa, for City of Tampa Police Department. PER CURIAM. Matthew Mickens and Martha McIntosh appeal from a final order that denied their claim for damages under section

932.704(9)(b), Florida Statutes (2014), following the City of Tampa Police Department's voluntary dismissal of a forfeiture action. We affirm based on this court's decision in In re forfeiture of 2006 Pontiac Solstice, 210 So. 3d 78, 84-85 (Fla. 2d DCA 2016), which held that the claimant was not entitled to damages under section 932.704 because the case was voluntarily dismissed without a trial or appeal. As in Pontiac Solstice, we again certify conflict with Cox v. Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles, 881 So. 2d 641 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004). The court's order is affirmed in all other respects. Affirmed; conflict certified. KELLY, VILLANTI, and LaROSE, JJ., Concur.
