The 2023 Florida Statutes

Fla. Stat. Ann. § 56.16. Under this statute, a third party claiming a right to seized property can file an affidavit with the seizing agency asserting the claim and also including a bond. Once these requirements are met, “the officer shall deliver the property to the claimant and desist from any further proceedings under the execution until the right of property is tried.” Fla. Stat. §56.17.
Plaintiff argues that the Interested Parties are precluded from seeking relief because they failed to provide a bond and an affidavit, as required by Chapter 56 of the Florida Statutes. ECF No. [192] at 3. Plaintiff references four sections of Chapter 56, Sections 56.12, 56.15, 56.16, and 56.17. See ECF No. [192] at 2. Although the applicability of each varies based on whether the interested parties are considered judgment debtors or non-judgment debtors, the bond and affidavit requirements are the same. Plaintiff contends the Interested Parties were required to post a bond in the amount of $155,775,586.44, equal to double the value of the properties at issue. Id.; ECF No. [192-1] at 3. Such a requirement, Plaintiff asserts, is not waivable and precludes any challenge to the sale. See ECF No. [192] at 2.
(Emphasis added.) Under its plain language, section 56.16 provides a process for a person who "claims any property levied on" to "obtain possession of the property." Id. That person must execute an affidavit and furnish a bond. Id. "On receipt of the bond and affidavit the officer shall deliver the property to the claimant and desist from any further proceedings under the execution until the right of property is tried." § 56.17.
[i]n applying the basic principles [governing summary judgment,] the factor of access to proof must ... be seriously considered in ruling on a defendant's motion for summary judgment, particularly ... where plaintiff's proof must come mainly from sources largely within the control of the defendants and from the mouths of the alleged wrongdoers. Ala. Farm Bureau Mut. Cas. Co., Inc. v. Am. Fidelity Life Ins. Co., 606 F.2d 602, 609 (5th Cir.1979) (quoting 6 Moore's Federal Practice P 56.17( 60) at 56–1065 (1976 ed.)).1 Consequently, “[s]ummary judgment should not ... ordinarily be granted before discovery has been completed.” Id. In the present case, discovery has not been completed because of the destruction of the most relevant evidence necessary for Josendis to establish his case and because the district court improperly constricted the scope of discovery. Thus, to cite one example, the district judge denied Josendis's request to discover “[a]ll of the income reporting documents submitted by [Wall to Wall] to the Internal Revenue Service regarding the Plaintiff for [three calendar years prior to the filing of Josendis's original complaint on July 25, 2008 (the ‘relevant…
Section 605(a) of the Federal Communications Act prohibits the unauthorized third party reception of satellite transmissions intended for fee-paying subscribers. See Home Box Office, Inc. v. Corinth Motel, Inc., 647 F. Supp. 1186 (N.D. Miss. 1986); American Television and Communications Corp. v. Floken, Ltd., supra; Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, Inc. v. Edinburg Community Hotel, Inc., 623 F. Supp. 647 (S.D.Tex. 1985); National Football League and Miami Dolphins, Inc. v. The Alley, Inc., 624 F. Supp. 6 (S.D.Fla. 1983). Section 605(e)(3)(B)(i) (Supp. 1989) empowers the district court to "grant . . . final injunctions on such terms as it may deem reasonable to prevent or restrain violations of subsection (a)." On appeal from a permanent injunction granted on a motion for summary judgment, the critical issue is "whether [the plaintiff], as the moving party here, clearly established the absence of any genuine issue of fact material to the granting of the injunction." Securities and Exchange Comm'n v. Murphy, supra, 626 F.2d at 655; see 6 Moore's Federal Practice para. 56.17[30] (1988).
108 F.T.C. at 359-60 (citing 6 Moore's Federal Practice ¶ 56.17[11] at 56-785 (1987)) (quoting ALJ's Initial Decision, reprinted in 108 F.T.C. 263, 312 (1986)) (footnotes omitted). Because the Commission properly rejected the suggestion that Orkin's proffered extrinsic evidence could make the contracts ambiguous, it could not have erred in its review of this evidence.
Disposition of a summary judgment motion in a declaratory judgment action is governed by the same basic principles that generally rule the grant or denial of such a motion. See 6 Moore's Federal Practice § 56.17[19]. Before rendering summary judgment, the district court must determine "that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact" and "that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 56(c); Shahid v. Gulf Power Co., 291 F.2d 422, 423-24 (5th Cir. 1961), rehearing denied, 298 F.2d 793 (1962). The party moving for summary judgment has the burden of showing the absence of a genuine issue as to any material fact. See Weinberger v. Hynson, Westcott Dunning, 412 U.S. 609, 93 S.Ct. 2469, 37 L.Ed.2d 207 (1973). The district court must view the inferences to be drawn from materials submitted in support of that motion, however, in a light "most favorable to the party opposing the motion." United States v. Diebold, Inc., 369 U.S. 654, 655, 82 S.Ct. 993, 994, 8 L.Ed.2d 176, 177 (1962). Sweat v. Miller Brewing Co., 708 F.2d 655, 656 (11th Cir. 1983).

The appropriate method for appellee to protect any interest it might have in the property on which the execution was levied is provided for by statute. Section 56.16, Florida Statutes (1976), provides that a third party claimant (such as appellee) to property levied on may obtain possession of the property by filing an affidavit that the property belongs to him and by posting a bond in favor of the judgment creditor. Thereafter, pursuant to Section 56.17, Florida Statutes (1976), the officer delivers the property to the claimant, desists from proceeding under the execution, and returns the execution to the court from which it issued with the affidavit and bond. Section 56.18, Florida Statutes (1976), provides that as soon as possible after the return, a trial shall be held on the issue of ownership obviously in the court from which the execution emanated. 13 Fla.Jur., Execution, § 97. Accordingly, it appears to me that, rather than seeking an injunction in the Circuit Court of Indian River County, the appellee should have followed the statutory remedy set forth in Chapter 56, Florida Statutes (1976).
