Ellsworth v. Polk County Board of County Commissioners

We have for review a decision of the Second District Court of Appeal that cited as controlling authority Joshua v. City of Gainesville, 734 So.2d 1068 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999), quashed, 768 So.2d 432 (Fla.2000), which was then pending review in this Court. See Ellsworth v. Polk County Board of County Commissioners, 751 So.2d 87 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 So.2d 418 (Fla.1981). Based on our recent decision in Joshua v. City of Gainesville, 768 So.2d 432 (Fla.2000), we quash the decision of the district court.
