Opinion
No. 98-3220.
September 28, 1998.
Petition for writ of certiorari to the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Fred A. Hazouri, Judge; L.T. Case No. CL 91-3105 AO.
Edwin G. Torres, Elizabeth J. du Fresne, P.A., Joseph P. Klock, Jr., and Mark R. Cheskin, P.A., of Steel Hector Davis LLP, Miami, and Willie Gary, Robert Parenti, and Madison McClellan of Gary, Williams, Parenti, Finney, Lewis, McManus, Watson Sperando, Stuart, for petitioner.
No response required for respondent.
We summarily dismiss the petition for writ of certiorari because this court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the challenged order denying Petitioner's motion to amend its answer to add a demand for jury trial. See Bared Co., Inc. v. McGuire, 670 So.2d 153, 156 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996); Lindsey v. Sherman, 402 So.2d 1349, 1349 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981). We also certify conflict with Johnson Engineering, Inc. v. Pate, 563 So.2d 1122 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990); Quality Coffee Service, Inc. v. Tallahassee Coca-Cola Bottling Co., 474 So.2d 427 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985); and Spring v. Ronel Refining, Inc., 421 So.2d 46 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982).
DELL, FARMER and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.
