City of Miami Beach, Florida (Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court Case No. 2017-18354-CA-01 (08)) On August 10, 2017, Mango's Tropical Cafe, LLC, and fourteen other parties filed an Emergency Motion for Injunction seeking to enjoin the City from submitting to the City's voters a ballot question asking whether the City Commission should adopt an Ordinance changing the current 5:00 a.m. termination time to 2:00 a.m. for alcoholic beverage establishments located on Ocean Drive between 5th and 15th Streets, exempting from this time change those indoor portions of alcoholic beverage establishments that are completely enclosed and located entirely within hotels. I am pleased to inform you that the Circuit Court has denied Plaintiffs' Emergency Motion for Injunction, and the special election called by the City Commission will take place on November 7, 2017. A copy of the Order denying Plaintiffs' motion is attached for your review. Pursuant to the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, Plaintiffs may appeal the Circuit Court decision to the Third District Court of Appeal within 30 days of the rendition of the Order, or by November 1, 2017. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. r �E�I �EL,�,��+�, � indi�r�c��l, ��I'�'��Q'� `�"�.4PI+��.� ��.F'E, LL�� �Sn ���� D�I�� �L�, ��� P�� �FI�"I'R�I_.� ��4 +���eT �RI�� LL�� �� �►� c�����r a; ��� �C��� %���� ��,�, +���� '� PL�AC�; 82{ ����4,�t ��Iii� L.�..0 d.�r�'� PELI4��1�1; ��� ���a� I]RI�'� �.,LG� t�r°� K�.��I��a ���`E ��.t�I�� I.�.�� d�'�d� ��'�E �viIL���� ��?L�I`�� ����H .����i �:TF"F� �L.�, �'a S��I,r�L ��,FE; 1�44 t,��'F�4I�1 �RI�`� �L�& d�`s +�ALA ��F�; � �5� ��# I3�� LL�� �?��. �'� ��t�4,����$ 1 �� ���.;��.� ����� ���, i��h:� �����i �� t� '������.g ���� ���� �:�.'�'�� ��{�g ��� ��M ���.�����, ���E �.��d�, �..�.�.', �r`°�}J�'� �:��i�'� �'�."� �k1t� �`�}�3� �'£�i�,�3��,�i �.�.,�, �D�� �e�i.�'.�.�.1y1��, ���.i€��i��� � �IT� �F I'+�TA�� �����i, FL�C��A� F�„A,FA��I. �, ��..Ah��.7�, �itv sa�° ���rt�� ��a�h �i�y CI�r�� �d ��iF,��TiN�A. �HI"�""�� � is�� c��' Ele��ior�s f+�r �i�i-i]aci� ���t�, F���� L���c���.
