Miles v. Robinson

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided January 2, 2002No. 4D01-175PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtGross, J.

John Miles appeals the entry of a summary final judgment against him in a case where he had not yet filed an answer. We affirm, because the record conclusively establishes that Miles could raise no legal defense to derail the plaintiffs claims.

As personal representative of the estate of Dorothy May Eight, appellee Dorothy Robinson sued Miles on various legal theories. She alleged that while living with the decedent during her waning years, Miles stole in excess of $340,000 by redeeming mutual funds and securities before abruptly fleeing the state and concealing his whereabouts.
