ORDER-STAY PROCEEDINGS FSC (TAG CASE)

The proceedings in this Court in the above case are hereby stayed pending disposition of Anderson v. Gannett Company, Inc., et al., Case No. SC06-2174, which is pending in this Court.

ORDER-OA&BRIEF SCHED/JURIS ACCEPTED
|
|
On April 13, 2007, the Court entered an order sua sponte staying the proceedings in Jews for Jesus, Inc. v. Edith Rapp, Case No. SC06-2491, pending disposition of Joe Anderson, Jr. v. Gannett Company, Inc., et al., Case No. SC06-2174. On April 20, 2007, the Court accepted jurisdiction of Anderson and set oral argument for October 10, 2007. The Court, having re-examined the opinions of the district court of appeals in both cases and the certified questions in both cases, as well as all of the briefs filed in Anderson v. Gannett, has determined that the disposition of Anderson will not necessarily be dispositive of Jews for Jesus because the question certified in Anderson and addressed in the briefs focuses on the applicable statute of limitations for a cause of action for false light whereas the opinion in Jews for Jesus and the question certified in that case focuses on whether a cause of action for false light is or should be recognized in Florida. Accordingly, the Court has determined that it will benefit from obtaining briefing in Jews for Jesus and hearing both Anderson and Jews for Jesus during the same oral argument calendar. Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that:
1. The Court lifts the stay in Jews for Jesus v. Rapp, accepts jurisdiction of this case and orders briefing based on the following briefing schedule: Petitioner's brief on the merits shall be served on or before October 22, 2007; respondent's brief on the merits shall be served twenty days after service of petitioner's brief on the merits; and petitioner's reply brief on the merits shall be served twenty days after service of respondent's brief on the merits. Please file an original and seven copies of all briefs.
2. The Court removes the case of Anderson v. Gannett from the oral argument calendar for October 10, 2007, reschedules this case for oral argument on Thursday, March 6, 2008, and also schedules oral argument for Jews for Jesus on the same date. A maximum of twenty minutes to the side is allowed for each argument, but counsel is expected to use only so much of that time as is necessary.
The Clerk of the Fourth District Court of Appeal shall file the original record for Jews for Jesus, Inc., v. Edith Rapp, Case No. SC06-2491, which shall be properly indexed and paginated on or before November 26, 2007.

DISP-QUASHED & REMANDED
|
|
In conclusion, we decline to recognize false light as a viable cause of action in this state. Therefore, we answer the certified question in the negative and quash the Fourth District's decision reinstating Rapp's false light claim. In addition, we conclude that the appropriate standard in defamation cases is a "substantial and respectable minority" of the community, as set forth in the Restatement. Because the Fourth District rejected this "community" standard, we also quash the Fourth District's decision affirming the dismissal of Rapp's defamation claim. However, we do not express an opinion as to the merits of this claim and invite the Fourth District to revisit any issues surrounding the defamation claim, including whether Rapp has sufficiently stated a cause of action. Accordingly, we remand to the Fourth District for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
