Ari Miller v. Gina Mendez

Case No: 00-2096

Dade County

Miller filed suit against Mendez seeking her removal from the ballot for a Miam-Dade County circuit court judgeship on grounds she was not a resident of Miami-Dade County on the day she filed her papers. The trial judge ruled in favor of Mendez, saying she only had to be a resident of the county on the day she took office. The Third District Court affirmed.
