Sorena v. Gerald J. Tobin, P.A.
District Court of Appeal of Florida
Decided October 20, 2010No. 3D10-952PublishedCited by 11 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtLagoa, J.
Vincent Sorena (“Sorena”) petitions this Court for certiorari review of an order denying his motion to stay the proceedings below pending resolution of a first-filed lawsuit involving similar parties and issues. Because we find that this action involves both substantially similar parties and substantially similar issues as are involved in the earlier-filed action, we grant the petition for certiorari and quash the trial court’s order denying a stay of proceedings.
