A quick review of safety regulations prompted one employee to tell Hixon, “We’re going to jail,” she said.

But Hixon asked state and federal regulators for help anyway. At first, the regulators weren’t impressed with what they were hearing. But they quickly realized Hixon and her colleagues were worthy adversaries: They wanted to be safe.

In Jackson v. Betty Holmes Anthony, ____ So.3d ____ (Fla. 1st DCA July 23, 2010), the Court held:
1. A Motion for Rehearing does not toll the 30-day time limit in rule 1.525.
2. A post-trial Motion to Admit and Consider Newly Discovered Evidence, does not toll the 30-day time limit.
