Florida Supreme Court Strikes Jurisdictional Brief For Failing To Comply With Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.210

Today, the Florida Supreme Court entered an order striking a jurisdictional brief for failing to comply with Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.210.  Based upon the language of the order, it appears the brief was filed today, however, it exceeded ten pages in length.  The order is below:

Order - Brief Stricken



Notably, the Court's docket entry for the case does not reflect the entry of an order relating to a jurisdictional brief and indicates a pro hac motion was denied.  The docket states:
Linda J. Salfrank's motion for leave to appear pro hac vice, which was filed with this Court on October 22, 2009, does not comply with Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.510 and is hereby denied without prejudice to re-file in compliance with said rule. The required contents of the verified motion and the verified form for the motion are contained in rule 2.510. Counsel is expected to include all components in the amended motion and is further expected to answer all questions as set forth in said rule (with the exception of the social security number).
The basis for denying the pro hac motion also appears on the docket and states:
#11 DOES NOT STATE "AND HAS NEVER BEEN A MEMBER OF THE FLORIDA BAR; ANSWERS "N/A" WHICH IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER
The Florida Supreme Court's docket for this case can be found here.  This case was previously discussed on this blog hereherehere, here and here.
