VILLANTI, Judge.

In this class action, Michael C. Addison and Richard T. Pettit appeal a nonfinal order which applied the "home venue privilege" to exclude and dismiss from the defendant class all non-Hillsborough County class members. Because none of the established exceptions to the home venue privilege are applicable to this case, we affirm.

This is the third time some aspect of this litigation has come before this court. See City of Tampa v. Addison...
