Third District Court of Appeal State of Florida, July Term, A.D. 2011 Opinion filed October 26, 2011. Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. ________________ No. 3D10-2360 Lower Tribunal No. 01-15039 ________________ Carlos Mejias, Appellant, vs. Shelbourne Ocean Beach Hotel Condominiun, Inc., Appellee. An Appeal from an order from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Amy Steele Donner, Judge. Robert P. Bissonnette, for appellant. Cole, Scott & Kissane and Scott A. Cole and Kristen A. Tajak, for appellee. Before RAMIREZ, CORTIÃ AS, and FERNANDEZ, JJ. PER CURIAM. Affirmed. Given that the standard of review for a motion for continuance is abuse of discretion, see Cargile-Schrage v. Schrage, 908 So. 2d 528, 529 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005) ( [N]o judge in his right mind would have denied the continuance. ), it certainly was not an abuse of discretion for the trial court to deny a continuance in a case that had been pending for ten years. 2
