Navigation Court enters show cause order over Gov. DeSantis’ Supreme Court appointment
Gov. Ron DeSantis must show cause why the Supreme Court should not order him to select another qualified finalist to replace 15th Circuit Judge Renatha Francis to fill a vacancy on the state’s top court.
The action came September 8 as the court granted Rep. Geraldine Thompson’s motion to amend her original petition challenging Francis’s appointment to the court.
Just before the court’s order, a Fernandina Beach resident filed a separate action asking the court to order DeSantis to make another choice.
