Caldwell v. Florida Department of Elder Affairs
District Court of Appeal of Florida
Decided April 22, 2013No. 1D12-163PublishedCited by 12 opinions
1Per curiam
Clare Caldwell appeals the dismissal of her complaint by the Florida Commission on Human Relations (Commission) based on its conclusion that it lacked statutory authority under the Whistle-blower’s Act to investigate the complaint. Caldwell asserts that the Commission was not authorized to dismiss her complaint, but rather was obligated conduct the investigatory and fact-finding functions set forth in the Whistle-blower’s Act, sections 112.3187-31895, Florida Statutes. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the Commission’s dismissal of Caldwell’s complaint.
