The United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (in case citations, S.D. Fla. or S.D. Fl.) is the federal United States district court with jurisdiction over the southern part of the state of Florida. Appeals from cases brought in the Southern District of Florida are to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (except for patent claims and claims against the U.S. government under the Tucker Act, which are appealed to the Federal Circuit). ==History== On the same day that Florida was admitted as a state, March 3, 1845, Congress enacted legislation creating the United States District Court for the District of Florida, 5 Stat. 788.〔Asbury Dickens, ''A Synoptical Index to the Laws and Treaties of the United States of America'' (1852), p. 393.〕〔(U.S. District Courts of Florida, Legislative history ), ''Federal Judicial Center''.〕 On February 23, 1847, this District was subdivided into Northern and Southern Districts, by 9 Stat. 131.〔〔 The statute effecting this division set forth the boundaries of the Districts: :()hat part of the State of Florida lying south of a line drawn due east and west from the northern point of Charlotte Harbor, including the islands, keys, reefs, shoals, harbors, bays and inlets, south of said line, shall be erected into a new judicial district, to be called the Southern District of Florida; a District Court shall be held in said Southern District, to consist of one judge, who shall reside at Key West, in said district... On July 30, 1962 the Middle District was created from portions of these districts by 76 Stat. 247.〔 Famous cases that have been heard in the district include ''Bush v. Gore'', ''United States v. Noriega'' (the prosecution of the former Manuel Noriega), ''González v. Reno'' (the Elián González case), notorious Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein, and ''United States v. José Padilla'' (the prosecution of José Padilla). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
