RAMOS v. STABINSKI FUNT, P.A

PER CURIAM.

The non-final order appealed ordering defendant Anthony E. Ramos to place $20,000 in a trust or interest-bearing account pending further order of the trial court is reversed upon a holding that a disputed and contingent claim for money damages does not constitute, by itself, a sufficient basis for injunctive relief. Ciabotti v. Milo, 432 So.2d 792 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983); Digaeteno v. Perotti, 374 So.2d 1015 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979); Oxford International Bank and Trust, Ltd. v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner Smith, Inc., 374 So.2d 54 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979), cert. dismissed, 383 So.2d 1199 (Fla. 1980).

Plaintiff/appellee Stabinski Funt, P.A.'s contention that the order entered was a contempt order relative to the defendant's violation of a preliminary injunction entered in a prior case is without merit as the trial court expressly denied plaintiff's motion for contempt.

Reversed.
