"Miami Dade College's board of trustees could end its legal battle with historian Marvin Dunn by holding a new public hearing on giving away prime downtown land to be used for Donald Trump's high-rise presidential library - but new court filings show the college would rather duke it out in higher court, according to the Miami Herald. The college's attorneys told the Miami-Dade Circuit Court Thursday they plan to appeal Judge Mavel Ruiz's ruling temporarily blocking the college from transferring the deed to the land."
"The case would go to the Third District Court of Appeals, where almost half the judges were appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. They're asking the lower court to stop proceedings until an appellate panel weighs in. Dunn's attorneys are asking the court for the opposite - to speed the trial up. They are proposing discovery in the next few weeks and a trial by January to "allow an early resolution of this controversy of great public importance.""
Miami Dade College's board of trustees faces a legal dispute over transferring prime downtown property to host a high-rise presidential library for Donald Trump. A judge temporarily blocked the college from transferring the deed. College attorneys told the Miami-Dade Circuit Court they will appeal that ruling to the Third District Court of Appeals and asked the lower court to pause proceedings while the appeal is considered. Appellate review could involve judges many of whom were appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. Historian Marvin Dunn's attorneys seek expedited discovery and propose a trial by January to resolve the controversy quickly.
