Albert A.A. Cartenuto, III v. Justice Administrative Commission

Supreme Court of Florida

Decided December 20, 2018No. SC18-322PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Per curiam

This case is before the Court on appeal from an order denying a motion for attorney's fees. Because the order concerns certain fees incurred during a capital postconviction proceeding, this Court has jurisdiction of the appeal under article V, section 3(b)(1), Florida Constitution. See McClain v. Atwater , 110 So.3d 892 , 893 n.1 (Fla. 2013). Based on the following, we reverse the circuit court's order and remand for a hearing to reconsider the proper statutory qualifications and determine reasonable attorney's fees.
