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.
