CITY OF ALACHUA v. MATILSKY

No. AL-139.

423 So.2d 451 (1982)

CITY OF ALACHUA, Florida, a Municipal Corporation, Appellant and Cross-Appellee, v. Herbert MATILSKY, Barbara Matilsky, Rupert Murphy, Robert N. Worth, Robert W. Rogers, Kenneth M. Brown, Viola M. Brown, and Jule E. Schmidt, Appellees and Cross-Appellants.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

December 1, 1982.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Allison E. Folds, of Watson, Folds, Steadham, Sproull, Christmann & Brashear, Gainesville, for appellant and cross-appellee.

David LaCroix, Gainesville, for appellees and cross-appellants.


ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., Chief Judge.

The trial court correctly held, at the instance of appellee Schmidt, that Alachua's ordinances annexing certain territory violate the contiguity requirement and other requirements of chapter 171, Florida Statutes. We find it unnecessary to reach, and so do not decide, questions on the cross-appeal concerning the standing of other objectors.

AFFIRMED.
