Meadowcroft Condo. Ass’n, Inc. v. Florida Southern Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc. and Aspen Specialty Ins. Co., 8:26-cv-407-KKM-SPF (M.D. Fla., July 1, 2026 (Kimball Mizelle, J.)) (denying Aspen’s motion to dissolve the post-judgment writ of garnishment and Meadowcroft’s motion for leave to file supplemental complaint, holding that (1) Aspen’s motion to dissolve was untimely under Fla. Stat. § 77.07(2) and, in any event, improperly sought to resolve disputed coverage and Coblentz issues that raise factual questions requiring adjudication through the garnishment pleadings and trial process; and (2) a supplemental complaint was unnecessary because the existing garnishment pleadings already framed the coverage dispute and the disputed reasonableness of the Coblentz agreement). https://ecf.flmd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2026-00407-36-8-cv
