Synopsis

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' appeal of a stay order in an inverse condemnation action for citrus canker tree destruction was treated as a petition for certiorari and denied.

Opinion of the Court
SHEPHERD, J.

SHEPHERD, J.

In this case, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services seeks review of a non-final order granting a stay of an individually filed inverse condemnation action, for the destruction of citrus canker exposed trees, pending a decision of the Fourth District Court of Appeal in a related class action on which it appears the briefing recently has been completed. The Department characterizes the order under review as “in the nature of an injunction” and therefore seeks to invoke the jurisdiction of this Court under section 9.130(a)(3)(B) of the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure. We treat the appeal as a petition for certiorari but deny the relief sought.1
