10th STREET PARTNERS, LLC v. COUNTY COMMISSION FOR SARASOTA COUNTY
United States District Court, M.D. Florida, Tampa Division.
September 20, 2012.
10th Street's response does not contain any objection to the Board's request for judicial notice. The Court finds that the above-noted municipal document is capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned. Additionally, the Board has furnished the Court with a copy of the relevant ordinances of which it seeks judicial notice and has provided the internet address for the entire Sarasota County Code of Ordinances. (Doc. # 11-1). Thus, the Court finds it appropriate to take judicial notice of the Sarasota County Code of Ordinances and Comprehensive Plan and grants the Board's request accordingly. III. Summary Judgment A. Legal Standard Summary judgment is appropriate if the pleadings, the discovery and disclosure materials on file, and any affidavits show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a). An issue is genuine if the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party. Mize v. Jefferson City Bd. of Educ., 93 F.3d 739, 742 (11th Cir. 1996) (citing Hairston v. Gainesville Sun Publ'g Co., 9 F.3d 913, 918 (11th Cir. 1993)). A fact is material if it may affect the outcome of the suit under the governing law. Allen v. Tyson Foods, Inc., 121 F.3d 642, 646 (11th Cir. 1997). The Court must draw all inferences from the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-movant and resolve all reasonable doubts in that party's favor. See Porter v. Ray, 461 F.3d 1315, 1320 (11th Cir. 2006). The moving party bears the initial burden of showing the Court, by reference to materials on file, that there are no genuine issues of material fact that should be decided at trial. See id. When a moving party has discharged its burden, the non-moving party must then go beyond the pleadings, and by its own affidavits, or by depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, designate specific facts showing there is a genuine issue for trial. See id. B. Analysis
