Evanoff's Reverse Chronology

red ball April 15, 2009. Evanoffs' v. Village of Islamorada (due process, filed 2008). We are headed for a trial on the Amended Complaint in Evanoff's vs Islamorada. If we are successful in declaring the Islamorada building permit allocation scheme (BPAS) unconstitutional on Due Process grounds, this could be a big game-changer in the Florida Keys. We are pursuing the same result in a class action lawsuit against Monroe County (Lightner et al v Monroe County) involving land on Big Pine and No Name Keys, and plan to file a similar action for landowners in unincorporated Monroe County whose properties are NOT on Big Pine or No-Name Keys.

red ball January 7, 2009. Evanoff's filed its Amended Complaint, following the Third District Court of Appeal's decisions in Collins v. Monroe County and Shands v. City of Marathon.

red ball May 27, 2008. Evanoff's filed its initial Complaint against the Village of Islamorada. Evanoff's did not immediately serve the Complaint on the Village of Islamorada. The Rules of Civil Procedure allow one to delay service up to 120 days after filing the Complaint.
