Kelly Mathis scored another victory in the 5th District Court of Appeal.
The appellate court denied a request by the State Attorney General's Office for a rehearing on the court's decision to throw out the 103 gambling-related convictions against Mathis and to order a retrial.

Prosecutors called Mathis the mastermind of what was described as a $300 million gambling ring operated through dozens of internet cafes operated by Allied Veterans of the World.
Last month, the appellate court ruled the convictions should be vacated and that Mathis should get a new trial.
In that new trial, Mathis' defense team -- led by Mitch Stone -- would be allowed able to put on key evidence the trial judge denied letting the jury hear.
Mathis contended throughout the case he was not involved in the operation of the business. He only served as the lawyer for Allied Veterans.
The jury convicted Mathis in 2013. He was suspended by The Florida Bar shortly afterward.
