Steve Bracci represented the Respondent arguing the Special Magistrate does not have jurisdiction
in the case. He based the argument on several factors including:
• The alleged incidents require enforcement of an Emergency/Executive Order, not a
violation of a County Code or Ordinance.
• The Special Magistrate, through its powers has jurisdiction over County Codes and
Ordinances, not Emergency Orders.
• The penalty for violating an Emergency Order is treated as is a misdemeanor and the
Special Magistrate does not have the authority to impose penalties under this standard.
November 6, 2020

• The State provides requirements for States of Emergency which may only be enacted for a
duration of 7 days unless extended.
• The current State of Emergency ended on March 23, 2020 and was not extended by the
County and the Order in question was not adopted in this time frame.
He included the following sources for his argument:
• Collier County Code of Ordinances 2007-44
• F.S.A Section 162.08
• Emergency Order 2020-05
• F.S.A. Section 125.66(3)
• F.S.A. Section 252.50
• Siegle vs. Lee County
Colleen Greene, Assistant County Attorney represented the County arguing the Special
Magistrate does have jurisdiction in the case based on:
• The County declared a State of Emergency, which remains in place as long as the
Emergency Order for the State of Florida exists.
• The Order was enacted lawfully under F.S.A Section 252 and there has been no
determination that the County’s Order is unlawful or invalid.
• The Special Magistrate, under F.S.A. Section 162.08 does not have the authority to declare
if an Ordinance or law is unlawful or invalid.
• The alleged violation was issued under a lawfully adopted Order and the Code Enforcement
Division conducted the investigation based on Board of County Commissioner direction.
• Collier County Ordinance 38.65 states - All emergency orders and rules adopted by the
County during a declared state of emergency shall have the full force and effect of law .
Special Magistrate Garretson notified the parties for informational purposes, the County
Ordinance regarding her duties was amended to include items in addition to County codes.
Mr. Bracci noted his argument isn’t to overturn the Order, rather the Special Magistrate does not
have jurisdiction in the case, as it is a misdemeanor. Only the Legislature can determine the
enforcement mechanism and penalties under this case.
Ms. Greene noted the BCC did consider the penalties when adopting the Order and the goal was to
seek compliance or issue a fine, the enforcement was not intended to be a criminal prosecution.
Special Magistrate Garretson took the case UNDER ADVISEMENT.

OWNER: Nicole Osborne
OFFICER: Marcy Perry
VIOLATIONS: Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances, Chapter 14, Article II, Section
14-38. Collier County Domestic Animal Services (CCDAS) has determined
that there exists sufficient cause to make the initial determination that the dog
(“Seka”) is a “Dangerous Dog.”
FOLIO NO:
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 2274 Hawksridge Drive, Naples, FL 34105
Jennifer Belpedio, Assistant County Attorney represented the County and reported the dog in
question “Seka” has aggressively bitten, attacked, or endangered or has inflicted severe injury on
a human being on public or private property: Has, when unprovoked, chased or approached a
person upon the streets, sidewalks, or any public grounds in a menacing fashion or apparent
attitude of attack provided that such actions are attested to in a sworn statement by one or more
persons and dutifully investigated by the appropriate authority.
Tim Kizzire, Attorney for the Respondent requested the case be dismissed, as the Collier
County Sheriff who responded to the call, and has knowledge of the incident, was not present.
The investigating Officer for DAS was also not present for the case.
Ms. Belpedio stated:
November 6, 2020
15
• She would not be using any of Mr. Pounds report as evidentiary during the presentation
of the case.
• Mr. Pound was an after the fact witness who did not witness the attack.
• The Investigating Officer could not be present for the hearing today, however, Marcy
Perry, the DAS Officer who deemed Seka a “Dangerous Dog” was present and based her
decision on a review of the record.
• The victim, Nadine Nardi was present, and had filed and affidavit in the matter.
Special Magistrate reported the Officer’s report may not be utilized in the case and allowed the
hearing to go forward.
Nadine Nardi testified:
• On the date of the incident, late in the afternoon she returned home and proceeded to
walk her dog, a 10lb Chihuahua.
• She has recently moved into the neighborhood and had been previously warned to be
wary of Ms. Osborne’s dog, as it attacked another person in the community.
• When she left her driveway and got near Ms. Osborne’s home, she noticed children
playing in the yard and 3 – 4 dogs running around circling the children.
• The next thing she knew, she saw Seka come flying out of the yard, over the fence at her.
• As quick as possible she yanked her dog up to her shoulder by the leash but Seka
broadsided her and knocked her over.
• Seka began attacking the dog, including shaking it in her mouth.
• After attacking the dog, Seka began to attack her and she put her arm up to defend her
neck and face area, however Seka latched onto her arm and bit it.
• She yelled for help and no one came to assist.
• She got to the ground to cover her head with her arms and the dog continued attacking
her, biting her on the backside.
• Eventually as the attack subdued, she was able to gather her injured dog and head home.
• Seka continued to follow here circling her as she tried to get home.
• Once home she continued onto her property and was able to get her dog into the house
and requested her husband to call 911.
• The police and ambulance arrived, and she was taken to the emergency room and
received treatment for the attack.
• She did file a sworn statement describing the incident.
During questioning by Special Magistrate Garretson, she noted the dog came over the 4’ high
fence to initiate the attack and she and her dog (Cloe) have recovered from their injuries.
Evidence Entered: Composite Exhibit A: 8 photos depicting Ms. Nardi’s injuries
During questioning by Mr. Kizzire, Ms. Nardi noted:
• She is not aware of any physical limitations of Seka due to Hip Dysplasia.
• She witnessed 3 - 4 dogs in the yard prior to the incident.
• The dog came at her at a high rate of speed.
• She is fearful of the dog as she had been warned by other residents in the neighborhood
regarding its behavior.
• When she observed the children in the yard, there was no aggressive behavior by the dogs
while circling the kids.
November 6, 2020
16
Ms. Osborne testified:
• She obtained Seka on July 4 of 2018.
• The dog is 3 – 4 years old and it interacts with children in the home without incident.
• She does not consider the dog to be dangerous; it is a family dog.
• Seka has never injured any member of the family, obeys commands, and is well trained.
• Seka lives with 2 other dogs in the home.
• She did not witness the attack, which would be atypical behavior for Seka.
• Seka does have medical issues, including Hip Dysplasia.
• She is relocating the dog to another home due to a requirement of the homeowner’s
association.
Respondent’s Exhibit A: Seka’s veterinary records
Mr. Kizzire asserted the case is one of mistaken identity and Seka is not the perpetrator given
her physical condition and Ms. Nardi is lying about Seka being the dog involved in the incident.
During questioning by Ms. Belpedio, Ms. Osborne noted:
• Seka is a white 92-pound short haired dog.
• Seka was involved in another DAS case on 2/17/19, where she bit a resident in the
community after getting out of the fenced area.
Respondent’s Exhibit B: 1 photo of the dog Cloe
Karen Hubbell stated she is at the Osborne residence frequently and has experienced no adverse
incidents with the dog, who does hobble when she walks.
Jolien Sullien reported Seka is an affectionate dog and well behaved.
Astinee Mclean noted she house sits for the Osborne’s and Seka is great with kids, not
aggressive with people she is not familiar with and does have physical ailments.
During questioning by Ms. Belpedio, Ms. Nardi noted:
• The dog that attacked her was a large, white, short haired dog with short legs.
• She has seen Seka many times and is familiar with the dog.
• The dog came out of Ms. Osborne’s yard to attack her.
• There were other white dogs in the yard that looked identical.
During questioning by Mr. Kizzire, Ms. Nardi noted she has relied on information provided by
other residents to help identify the dog.
Special Magistrate Garretson took the case UNDER ADVISEMENT.
Following the hearing Ms. Osborne requested permission to relocate the dog to her sister’s home
as required by the homeowner’s association (deadline of November 8, 2020).
Ms. Perry noted there is a process to relocate a Dangerous Dog, including filing of an affidavit
with the County.
Special Magistrate Garretson GRANTED permission to relocate the dog.
