DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT Appellant, v. BRADLEY J. EDWARDS, PAUL G. CASSELL, and ALAN DERSHOWITZ, Appellees. No. 4D16-1847 [August 30, 2017) Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Thomas Lynch, Judge; L.T. Case No. 15-000072 CACE (05). Sigrid S. McCawley of Boies, Schiller & Fiexner LLP, Fort Lauderdale, and Jon L. Mills, Miami, for appellant. Bruce S. Rogow and Tara A. Campion of Bruce S. Rogow, P.A., Fort Lauderdale; and Richard A. Simpson of Wiley Rein LLP, Washington, D.C., for appellee Alan Dershowitz. CIKLIN, J. , a nonparty below, appeals an order granting defendant Alan Dershowitz's motion to strike her various motions for sanctions. The order on appeal was entered following a voluntary dismissal of the case. In the order, the trial court held that it lacked jurisdiction to consider previously filed motions for sanctions because the matter had been voluntarily dismissed and further that lacked stanSig to file the motions for sanctions to begin with. We agree with contention that the trial court erred in determining that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain the sanctions motions. We affirm, however, the trial court's correct conclusion that lacked standing. This appeal arises from a defamation action. In an action prior to the defamation action, Attorneys Edwards and Cassell represented and Dershowitz represented Jeffrey Epstein. In the action below, attorneys asserted a defamation claim against Dershowitz based EFTA00802962
