TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida Supreme Court will hear arguments in August in a property dispute about whether Planned Parenthood should be allowed to perform abortions at an Osceola County facility.
Justices issued an order Tuesday saying they will hear arguments Aug. 31 in an appeal by Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida.

The dispute stems from a restrictive covenant in a Kissimmee medical park that houses the Planned Parenthood facility.
The covenant bars outpatient surgical centers in the park, which another occupant, MMB Properties, argued should prevent Planned Parenthood from performing abortions.
A circuit judge agreed with MMB Properties and issued a temporary injunction against Planned Parenthood performing abortions at the facility.
A panel of the 5th District Court of Appeal stayed the temporary injunction, but another panel of the same court ruled in May in favor of MMB Properties and the injunction.
The Supreme Court said in November that it would take up the dispute.
