Question presented

Whether the Florida Courts have strayed from their core responsibility of determining and applying law in the administration of justice? Whether the Florida Court's disregard of "standing" as an essential element for initiating litigation is compliant with the "case and controversy" requirement set forth in Article III of the Constitution of the United States? Whether the Florida Supreme Court's opinion in Singleton v. Greymar Associates, 882 So.2d 1004 (Fia. 2004) that departs from the application of the doctrine of res judicata in mortgage foreclosure actions, violates constitutional rights? Whether the Florida Supreme Court's opinion in Bartram v. U. S. Bank National Association, 211 So.2d 1009 (Fla. 2016), extending the Singleton v. Greymar Associates, 882 So.2d 1004 (Fla. 2004), opinion to the statute of limitations context violates constitutional rights? Whether the conduct of the officers of the court in the Starwood Case violates constitutional due process and emasculates the administration of justice?
