08/30/2007 SUPP RECORD/TRANSCRIPT Jon S. Wheeler BY: Jon S. Wheeler 1 VOLUME WITH CC PAPERS
09/05/2007 ORDER-BRIEF SCHED (CERTIFIED) Upon further review of the First District Court of Appeal's underlying decision in this case, the Court has developed concerns about the split of votes on the certified questions of great public importance set forth therein. Specifically, three judges concurred in the judgment and certification; three judges dissented to the judgment but concurred in the certification; five judges concurred in the judgment but dissented to the certification; and one judge concurred in the judgment only. This appears to have resulted in a six-six split of votes as to certification. Given this split of votes, the Court questions whether it has jurisdiction over the certified questions of great public importance set forth in the decision below. Thus, in addition to the merits of the issues briefed, the parties are directed to be prepared to discuss this jurisdictional issue at oral argument. To that end, parties who submitted merits briefs in this case shall each submit a memorandum, not exceeding five pages in length, by noon on Tuesday, September 11, 2007, addressing this jurisdictional issue. Please file an original and seven copies of all memoranda.
