09/29/2014 ORDER-SHOW CAUSE WHEREAS, the Court has determined that the petition demonstrates a preliminary basis for relief, this order is being issued to provide Governor Rick Scott with the opportunity to show cause on the narrow issue of why Executive Order 2013-217 should not be revoked, pursuant to section 112.51(6), Florida Statutes (2013). A response from the Governor is warranted in this matter in light of the jury's verdict, on August 14, 2014, acquitting Michael A. Pizzi, Jr., of all federal felony charges. This Court is not, however, suggesting that Governor Scott is required to order that Petitioner Pizzi be reinstated to his former municipal office, which has been filled by operation of a special election in accordance with the Charter of the Town of Miami Lakes, Florida. This Court requests that the Governor file his response on or before October 14, 2014, why the petition should not be granted. Petitioner Pizzi may serve his response, if any, on or before October 24, 2014.

However, because we believe that the Governor will fully comply with this order, by forthwith revoking Executive Order Number 2013-217, we withhold issuance of the writ until January 2, 2015. It is so ordered.
