CATHY ANTUNES, et al.,  
Appellants, 
 
vs. 
 
SARASOTA COUNTY, FLORIDA,  
Appellee. 
 
[May 10, 2012] 
PER CURIAM. 
 
Cathy Antunes appealed a judgment of the circuit court to the Second 
District Court of Appeal, which certified to this Court that the judgment is of great 
public importance and requires immediate resolution by this Court.  We have 
jurisdiction.  See art. V, § 3(b)(5), Fla. Const.  The order on appeal was an 
interlocutory order in which the circuit court denied Antunes’ motion to dissolve a 
permanent injunction barring enforcement of Sarasota County’s term limits on 
county commissioners.  We reverse and remand consistent with our ruling in Telli 
v. Broward County, No. SC11-1737 (Fla. May 10, 2012).
