ATTORNEYS’ TITLE INSURANCE FUND, INC., 
Petitioner, 
 
vs. 
 
M.I. INDUSTRIES USA, INC., et al.,  
Respondents. 
 
[April 22, 2010] 
 
PER CURIAM. 
 
We initially accepted jurisdiction to review the decision of the Fourth 
District Court of Appeal in M.I. Industries USA Inc. v. Attorneys’ Title Insurance 
Fund, Inc., 6 So. 3d 627 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009).  In its decision the district court 
certified the following question to be of great public importance: 
INCIDENT TO AN ACTION AT LAW, MAY A TRIAL 
COURT ISSUE AN INJUNCTION TO FREEZE ASSETS OF A 
DEFENDANT, WHERE THE PLAINTIFF HAS 
DEMONSTRATED: (1) THE DEFENDANT WILL TRANSFER, 
DISSIPATE, OR HIDE HIS/HER ASSETS SO AS TO RENDER A 
TRIAL JUDGMENT UNENFORCEABLE; (2) A CLEAR LEGAL 
RIGHT TO THE RELIEF REQUESTED; (3) A SUBSTANTIAL 
LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS ON THE MERITS; AND (4) A 
TEMPORARY INJUNCTION WILL SERVE THE PUBLIC 
INTEREST? 
 
- 2 - 
 
Id. at 629.  After further consideration, we have determined that we should 
exercise our discretion and discharge jurisdiction.  Accordingly, this review 
proceeding is dismissed.   
 
It is so ordered. 
QUINCE, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, CANADY, POLSTON, LABARGA,
