Lead Opinion
Michael Romero appeals an order dismissing his personal injury action. The trial court granted the appellees’ motion to dismiss for fraud, finding that there had been material misrepresentations and omissions regarding his previous medical history, educational attainment, and previous work history. We affirm on authority of Long v. Swofford, 805 So.2d 882 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001).
Affirmed.
COPE and SHEVIN, JJ., concur.
Dissent
(dissenting).
As in Long v. Swofford, 805 So.2d 882, 884 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001)(dissenting opinion), I would reverse because the punishment visited on the very-much-less-than-candid Mr. Romero — depriving him of a plainly meritorious claim for a serious and objective injury — is far too severe for his offense.
