JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
Appellant,
vs.
Jorge Llovet, et al.,
Appellees.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, David C.
Miller, Judge.
León Cosgrove, LLP, and Derek E. León, Andrew B. Boese, and John
R. Byrne, for appellant.
Jacobs Legal, PLLC, and Bruce Jacobs, for appellee Jorge Llovet.
Before EMAS, LOGUE and HENDON, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a non-party to the litigation below, seeks
review of the denial of its motion for a protective order from post-judgment
discovery pursuant to a subpoena. In a companion proceeding before this
Court, stemming from the same case, and involving the same parties,
lawyers, and issue, but a different subpoena, we reversed an order denying
JPMorgan Chase’s motion for a protective order since “Llovet is barred from
re-opening discovery post-judgment because the discovery he now seeks
could have been requested pre-judgment.” JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. v.
Llovet, No. 3D19-1118,
2021 WL 5347435, at *3 (Fla. 3d DCA Nov. 17,
2021). For the same reason, we reverse the order under review and remand
for further proceedings.
Reversed and remanded.
