Under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.120(b), a party must file a notice to invoke the discretionary jurisdiction of the Florida Supreme Court within 30 days of the rendition of the decision that includes a certified conflict. This deadline is jurisdictional—failure to meet it results in automatic dismissal, regardless of the underlying merits or the existence of a certified conflict.

This outcome underscores the necessity of acting promptly when pursuing appellate remedies in Florida’s highest court. Our firm is proud to have successfully protected our client’s interests through to the final stage.
