Reporters:
Before:
Dixon, Dennis, Blanche, Lemmon

Denied.

DIXON, C.J., and DENNIS and BLANCHE, JJ., would grant the writ.

LEMMON, ‍‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‍J., concurs with reasons.

LEMMON, Justice, concurring in denial of writ application.

Although the lower courts’ conclusion that the corporate veil ‍‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‍should be pierced is extremely doubtful from the facts contained in the court of appeal opinion, 421 So.2d 984, ‍‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‍relator admits that Opt, Inc. has substantial assets in excess of the amount awarded LeBlanc. Therefore, any inquiry ‍‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​‍into Friedberg‘s individual liability in this suspensive appeal would be purely academic.
