ELIZABETH MARMOL, Plaintiff, v. DIRECT GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant. Circuit Court, 13th Judicial Circuit in and for Hillsborough County, Circuit Civil Division. Case No. 20-CA-003943, Division E. September 11, 2020. Gregory P. Holder, Judge. Counsel: Timothy A. Patrick, Patrick Law Group, P.A., Tampa, for Plaintiff. William John McFarlane III, McFarlane & Dolan, Coral Springs, for Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTIONTO TRANSFER TO COUNTY COURT
THIS CAUSE came before the Court on September 10, 2020, upon Plaintiff’s Motion to Transfer to County Court. Present before the Court were counsel for both the Plaintiff and Defendant. This Court having heard the argument of Counsel, reviewed the motion, court file, and being otherwise duly advised in the premises, it is:
ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the Plaintiff’s Motion to Transfer to County Court is GRANTED. Counsel for the Plaintiff, Timothy Patrick, announced upon this record that his client waives any claims for property damage within this case. Thus, the only issue remaining for consideration by this Court is the PIP claim which, by contract and case law, cannot reach the jurisdictional limit of the Circuit Court. Thus, jurisdiction is proper before the County Court and this matter is ORDERED transferred to County Court and returned to the previously assigned division.
