Jennings v. Montenegro
26 Fla. L. Weekly D2154 (Fla. 4th DCA Sept. 5, 2001)
Although the appellees may have exercised due diligence in attempting to locate the appellants, they failed to serve the Secretary of State with their latest amended complaint.

The court reversed, permitting the appellees another chance to properly effect service of process. The court also dismissed the appellants
