FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________

No. 1D2025-0063 _____________________________

LATONYA MONTGOMERY,

Appellant,

v.

WENDELTA, INC. d/b/a WENDY’S,

Appellee. _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Washington County. Timothy Register, Judge.

September 10, 2025

PER CURIAM.

Latonya Montgomery filed a race and retaliation employment discrimination suit against her former employer, Wendelta, Inc., following her termination. The trial court granted summary judgment in Wendelta’s favor, finding that the action was time barred under section 760.11(8)(c), Florida Statutes. But because Montgomery’s cause may still accrue under section 760.11(8), we reverse. See Davis v. Big Bend Hospice, Inc., 50 Fla. L. Weekly D1873d (Fla. 1st DCA Aug. 20, 2025).

REVERSED. OSTERHAUS, C.J., ROBERTS and WINOKUR, JJ., concur.
