On Friday, February 4, the Florida 2nd District Court of Appeals denied all of the remaining motions filed with that court by the Schindlers in the "Papal Appeal." While the 2nd DCA had originally denied the appeal back on December 29, 2004, the Schindlers had petitioned for a rehearing en banc in order to give the full court an opportunity to hear the merits of the case.
Once again, the court denied the motions without providing a written order, effectively limiting the Schindler's ability to appeal to the Florida Supreme Court. It appears at this point that the Mandate will now return to Judge Greer in approximately 15 days from the issuance of the court's decision--an event that will expire the current Stay that preserves Terri's life.
