Tuyuana L. Morris, etc. v. Orlando S. Muniz, M.D.
Supreme Court of Florida
1DissentCanady, C.J.
I disagree with the majority's decision to quash the First District's decision in Morris v. Muniz , 189 So.3d 348 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016), and to reinstate Morris's medical malpractice complaint against the various defendants in this case. I would instead approve the result reached by the First District. Under a proper reading of the statutes governing the medical malpractice presuit process, Morris's purported presuit "medical expert"-Dr. Thompson-as a matter of law did not satisfy the statutory requirements for such experts. Accordingly, I dissent.
This case is readily resolved on the ground…
