Judge George Greer has ordered that a Writ of Quo Warranto filed on behalf of Terri Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, be dismissed and dissolved.
In his order, Greer suggests that Mr. and Mrs. Schindler already have ample legal remedy with a November 15, 2002 petition to remove Terri's husband as her guardian which has yet to be resolved in Greer's court. Additionally, Greer states that "extraordinary relief will not be granted in cases where the granting of it will result in confusion and disorder."Through their attorneys, Mr. and Mrs. Schindler brought forth a petition for Writ of Quo Warranto, which asks that Terri's husband be required to demonstrate under what authority he continues to act as Terri's guardian. The basis for their petition was that Terri's husband had failed to file guardianship plans on an annual basis as required by Florida Statute 744.3675, had isolated her and had apparently neglected her healthcare needs to the point that five teeth had been extracted due to decay.
Additionally, the petition for Writ of Quo Warranto states that, under Florida Statute 744.369(8), "the approved report constitutes the authority for the guardian to act in the forthcoming year. The powers of the guardian are limited by the terms of the report." As Terri's husband had not filed guardianship plans for the periods of 08/01/2001 through 07/31/2002 and 08/01/2002 through 07/31/2003 until June 1, 2004, Bob and Mary Schindler contend that he has not complied with state requirements that allow him to act as their daughter's guardian.
