Jeff Atlas and Susan Atlas v. Eli Cohen
In a citation per curiam opinion, the Third District affirmed a final summary judgment for the appellee in a landlord-tenant security deposit dispute. The court anchored the affirmance in the text of Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.510(a), (c)(3) and (c)(5) — the federal-style summary judgment standard, the court's ability to consider only the cited materials, and the nonmovant's 40-day response obligation — together with the security deposit notice provision of section 83.49(3)(a), Florida Statutes. The panel reviewed the summary judgment de novo under Siegel v. Tower Hill Signature Insurance Co.
