Background
Mid-Continent Casualty Company, acting on its own behalf and as assignee of Rey Group, Inc. d/b/a Rey Homes, appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Orange County. Circuit Judge John E. Jordan presided in the lower tribunal, case number 2022-CA-006494.
The appellees were Masco Corporation and Texwood Industries, L.P. d/b/a Quality Cabinets. The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the claims asserted, the trial court’s ruling, or the arguments raised on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s decision. The disposition leaves the appealed ruling in place.
The court issued a per curiam affirmance consisting only of the word “AFFIRMED.” It provided no reasoning, announced no legal rule, and identified no specific ground supporting its decision. Judges White, Smith, and Pratt concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the Orange County Circuit Court’s ruling.
- The per curiam opinion contains no discussion of the facts, issues, or governing law.
- The opinion does not disclose the basis for affirmance or establish an articulated legal holding beyond the disposition.
Why It Matters
The decision ends this stage of the appeal with the lower court’s ruling intact, subject to any timely rehearing proceedings. Because the court supplied no analysis, the opinion offers practitioners no stated rationale to apply in other disputes.
