Description
Michael C. Dupont sought to enforce by writs of mandamus and garnishment a federal § 1983 civil rights judgment for $527,670.70 obtained by Coblentz agreement against the Estate of Sebastian Tangusso, a former state employee. The circuit court granted final summary judgment in favor of Tom Gallagher, in his capacity as Insurance Commissioner and State Treasurer, and head of the State Risk Management Fund ("Fund"), but denied their motion for attorneys fees under section 57.105, Florida Statutes (2003). Gallagher and the Fund appeal the denial of attorneys fees, and Dupont cross-appeals the final summary judgment. We reverse the final summary judgment and affirm the denial of section 57.105 fees.
