Pro Bono Warrior Dan Tibbitt has secured a stay in Clarington v. State, following the Third DCA’s denial of the Writ of Prohibition which would have allowed Miami judges to proceed with PVH’s, known as FVOP’s in Broward, as early as this Monday on Zoom.

From an email from Dan:

… (t)hey denied stay initially and gave state 10 days to respond to certification, which would have pushed past the PVH date, I then filed a Notice to Invoke FLSC jurisdiction, then once the FLSC docketed the case and entered an order staying proceedings there (but not in circuit court), I filed a renewed motion to stay in 3rd DCA, which they granted just before 5 pm (Friday), stopping the PVH which was supposed to start Monday morning and allowing us the time we need to hopefully get case to merits review in FLSC …

The State has until December 18th to file its response. Until then, no probation violation hearings on Zoom in Miami or Broward, where at least one judge has told us the Third DCA’s rulings thus far are “instructional” …

WELL DONE!
