Burlington Ins. Group, LLC, v. Earl Joseph Gordon, et al., 2D2025-0948 (Florida 2nd DCA, Jan 23, 2026 – Judge Silberman) (granting Bullington Insurance Group’s petition for certiorari and quashing the trial court’s order denying Bullington’s motion to dismiss, holding that the lower court departed from the essential requirements of law by failing to follow precedent, and reasoning that Gordon’s negligence claim against Bullington was premature because his coverage dispute with Ascendant had not yet been resolved, making dismissal or abatement required under controlling case law.) https://flcourts-media.flcourts.gov/content/download/2484058/opinion/Opinion_2025-0948.pdf
