Denied. See Miami-Dade County v.

Ctr. v. United Auto. Ins. Co., 62 So. 3d 1086, 1093 (Fla. 2010) (“[A] circuit court appellate decision made according to the forms of law and the rules prescribed for rendering it, although it may be erroneous in its conclusion as to what the law is as applied to facts, is not a departure from the essential requirements of law remediable by certiorari.”) (emphasis omitted); Miami-Dade County v. Snapp Indus., Inc., 319 So. 3d 739, 741 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021) (concluding the circuit court applied the correct law despite the county’s argument that the circuit court reweighed the evidence presented at the evidentiary hearing); see also Espinoza v. Dep’t of Bus. & Pro. Regul., 739 So. 2d 1250, 1251 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999) (“The general rule is that, apart from statute, the burden of proof is on the party asserting the affirmative of an issue before an administrative tribunal.”).
