"It isn't clear why the 2016 form is in the record, because, according to the Government, it is unnecessary to the ALJ's decision. And no one explains why the form was included, nor convincingly explains why the Court should turn a blind eye to its contents," wrote U.S. District Judge Kyle C. Dudek for the Middle District of Florida.

"The orders before us meet the finality requirement under Curcio because they terminated a contempt proceeding by determining the monetary sanction—the bond that was equal to the three months in arrears coupled with the coercive requirement to produce the belated financial records," Judge Andrea Teves Smith wrote on behalf of the unanimous, three-judge panel. "Accordingly, the trial court erred in holding that the Connecticut contempt order and capias were nonfinal and, thus, not entitled to full faith and credit under FEFJA."

"This case took place during a pandemic where court procedures departed from the norm," Judge Melanie G. May wrote on behalf of the three-judge appellate panel. "Plaintiff's counsel should have been aware of the trial court's instructions, but once it became apparent that plaintiff's counsel was not in compliance with those instructions, his only alternative was to ask for additional time to comply, which he did. The court had already ruled on the plaintiff's entitlement to fees and costs, but then refused to award them when plaintiff's counsel failed to appreciate the procedures required due to the pandemic."

"The Board and the Department engaged in a game of bait-and-switch. The Department provided no notice to Appellant of its intent to seek revocation, and its communications had the effect of lulling her into complacency," the per curiam opinion said. "More egregious than this, there was no mention in the amended complaint of an alleged violation of section 464.018(1)(h), pertaining to 'unprofessional conduct.' In essence, though, the Board punished Appellant for this uncharged violation."

"Its eleventh-hour timing and surrounding circumstances strongly suggest that [defendant John H.] Strand seeks reassignment because he and [co-defendant Dr. Simone] Gold were unhappy with her sentence, and he would thus prefer another judge to conduct the remainder of his proceedings," U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper of the District of Columbia said. "The court will not reward any such tactic."

"In this case, the circuit court's ruling effectively and illogically prevented Mack from considering or rejecting settlement offers intended to avoid litigation if she wanted to retain her right to proceed with litigation under the Act," Judge Stevan T. Northcutt wrote on behalf of the unanimous panel. "Manifestly, nothing in the language of the statue prohibits a party from entertaining or rejecting settlement offers as a condition precedent to suit. Thus, the circuit court's ruling was error."
