Caiazza v. Tuff Realty Corp.,
    
805 So. 2d 29 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001).

 The plaintiffs brought an action in the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit of Seminole County, Florida concerning the ownership of stock in two corporations. The plaintiffs sought to enforce a New York state court judgment that a decedent owned the stock in these corporations at the time of his death and thus this stock was a part of his estate. The Defendants claimed that the decedent had gifted this stock to the children of his first family at the time these corporations were created, and that New York had no jurisdiction.

The trial court entered summary judgment for the defendant corporations finding that the plaintiff’s action was barred by a five-year statute of limitations governing actions on a foreign judgment. Ms. Lippincott represented the defendant corporations in this appeal, and the trial court decision in favor of the defendants was upheld.
