Nos. SC10-330, SC10-336.
November 18, 2010.
Lower Tribunal No(s). 3D09-2357, 4D09-2915, 2009-178DAO.
New Hope Sugar Company and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians appeal an order dismissing their petitions for an administrative hearing relating to the validity of the South Florida Water Management District's decision to purchase property from the U.S. Sugar Corporation for purposes of Everglades restoration and preservation. We affirm the dismissals based on the legal insufficiency of the petitions as to the Appellants' standing. The injuries alleged by the Appellants are too speculative and remote to satisfy the immediacy requirement for an administrative hearing. See Village Park Mobile Home Ass'n v. Dep't of Business Reg., 506 So. 2d 426, 433 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987).
It is so ordered.
CANADY, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, POLSTON, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
