Docket
Opinion Summary

Facts

  1. Joy Mooshie filed a complaint in March 2023 against the Florida State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police for gender and age discrimination, and retaliation under the Florida Civil Rights Act. [lines="25-27"]
  2. Mooshie claimed to have met all conditions precedent, including filing a charge of discrimination with the EEOC on February 23, 2021. [lines="29-31"]
  3. The Appellee moved to dismiss Mooshie's complaint, stating it was barred by the one-year statute of limitations under section 760.11, Florida Statutes, for actions filed after the EEOC's notice on August 25, 2021. [lines="35-38"]
  4. Mooshie argued that the attached documents from the Appellee's motion to dismiss were improperly considered by the trial court. [lines="44-46"]
  5. The trial court dismissed her complaint with prejudice, relying on the EEOC's notice of right to sue without regard for Mooshie's allegations. [lines="56-59"]

Issues

  1. Did the trial court err by considering documents attached to the Appellee's motion to dismiss, which were outside the four corners of Mooshie's complaint? [lines="46-47"]
  2. Was the dismissal of Mooshie's complaint with prejudice based on an improper reliance on the notice of right to sue? [lines="54-56"]

Holdings

  1. The court held that the trial court violated the four corners rule by relying on documents attached to the motion to dismiss, which were not part of the complaint. [lines="96-100"]
  2. The dismissal of Mooshie's complaint with prejudice was reversed because the allegations in the complaint did not conclusively establish expiration of the statute of limitations. [lines="182-184"]
