Gregory Tony, as Sheriff of Broward County v. Estate of Alyssa Alhadeff, et al.
The Fourth District affirmed the denial of the Broward Sheriff's motion for partial summary judgment on sovereign immunity as to the day-of-shooting claims from the Parkland shooting. The court held its nonfinal appeal jurisdiction under Rule 9.130(a)(3)(F)(iii) is confined to entitlement to sovereign immunity, so the Sheriff's Trianon Park duty-of-care argument fell outside the scope of review. On the immunity question itself, the Sheriff failed to show the challenged conduct was a planning-level or policy-level function, and the narrow police emergency exception does not create immunity from suit.
