Background
Jose A. Santana appealed a ruling of the Circuit Court for Orange County, where Michael Kraynick served as the lower-tribunal judge. Santana represented himself on appeal.
The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The opinion does not identify the ruling Santana challenged, describe his arguments, or provide additional facts about the underlying case.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
The per curiam opinion contains no analysis or explanation for the decision. Chief Judge Traver and Judges Stargel and Pratt concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the ruling below.
- The court issued a per curiam decision without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not disclose Santana’s arguments or the basis for the affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but offers no reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore limited to the disposition of Santana’s appeal.
