Metrahealth Insurance Co Supp S.D Fla Oxford Asset Mgmt Jaharis F.3d 11th Cir On a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs factual allegations are accepted as true However legal conclusions masquerading as facts will not prevent dismissal To avoid dismissal a pleading must allege a cause of action recognized under law against the defending party Kislak Kreedian So 2d Fla COUNTI Florida Statutes Section Plaintiff attempts to assert a cause of action in the interest of furthering justice under Florida Statute however a review of the statute in question reveals that no cause of action is provided for therein and consequently Plaintiffs Complaint must be dismissed as a matter of law Despite Plaintiffs extensive recitation of the factual background regarding Jeffery Epstein and the testimony and evidence presented to the grand jury in Palm Beach County Florida Fla Stat merely explains the exceptions to the disclosure of grand jury testimony and does not set forth in any way a cause of action upon which to initiate a valid law suit Moreover a review of the statute at issue clearly indicates that even if Fla Stat provided a basis for a cause of action Plaintiff is barred from access to the records it seeks To wit in pertinent part Fla Stat states When such disclosure is ordered by a court pursuant to subsection for use in a civil case it may be disclosed to all parties to the case and to their attorneys and by the latter to their legal associates and employees However the grand iury testimony afforded such persons by the court can only be used in the defense or prosecution of the civil or criminal case and for no other purpose whatsoever Here despite the clear statutory guidelines for disclosure of grand jury materials in a civil case Plaintiff is improperly seeking the requested grand jury materials for the purposes of public disclosure pursuant to the courts inherent authority and supervisory powers over the grand jury See Complaint r,r Again even if Plaintiff properly asserted a cause of action under Fla Stat the statute unambiguously states that grand jury testimony can only be used in the defense or prosecution of the civil or criminal case and for no other purpose whatsoever which is distinctly different from A A 4A E0 A4 DE a qr?q rq qrCX HhL Kg lg d?a d6U a M3 flW y??S m/y t0 I F/Z V/j 1a qC KS u?v vZ O5 a qr rCX qC 0V I I dc rM?M rM 10Cy n??m?n
