Former 7th Circuit Judge Scott DuPont is appealing a decision that blocked him from running this year for a judicial seat because of a past suspension from practicing law.
An attorney for DuPont filed a notice of appeal after Leon County Circuit Judge J. Lee Marsh ruled that DuPont was ineligible to run for judge in the 7th Circuit, comprising St. Johns, Putnam, Flagler and Volusia counties.
The notice of appeal, posted June 3 on the Leon County Clerk of Court’s website, does not detail arguments that DuPont’s attorney, former state Rep. Anthony Sabatini, will make at the 1st District Court of Appeal.
