Owenby v. City of Quincy

Supreme Court of Florida. Special Division A
Dec 20, 1955
84 So. 2d 40 (Fla. 1955)

Opinion

December 20, 1955.

W.J. Oven, Jr., Tallahassee, for appellants.

Alton M. Towles, Quincy, for appellee.


The motion to affirm judgment which was filed in this cause is grounded upon the proposition that an inspection of the record will affirmatively show "that the findings of the trial court are supported by the evidence, and that there is sufficient and substantial evidence in the record to support the findings of the trial judge". We deem it pertinent to observe that we do not consider it appropriate to file a motion to affirm judgment in a case such as this wherein it is necessary for this court to examine the entire transcript and consider the case as fully as would be ultimately necessary for proper disposition of the matter. Our rule permitting a motion to affirm judgment does not, as we construe it, contemplate a motion of the character here under consideration which requires that we give the same attention to the case as would be necessary for us to give to it should it follow its regular course on appeal.

The motion to affirm judgment is hereby denied.

DREW, C.J., and TERRELL, HOBSON and O'CONNELL, JJ., concur.
