In Florida Bar v. Walter, 784 So. 2d 1085 (Fla. 2001), the Court dismissed disciplinary proceedings where the prosecutorial delay lasted seven years. The Court noted that, although it was a "close call," the Bar did not act within a "reasonable time" in taking seven years to file its complaint. Id. at 1087. In that opinion, the Court pointed out that the dismissal was a result of the "unique circumstances" of Walter's case.
