Background

James Isaiah Murray appealed from a proceeding in the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge G. Gregory Green presided.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The opinion provides no additional facts, procedural history, arguments, or description of the circuit court’s ruling.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition.

The court issued no written reasoning and therefore announced no express legal rule beyond affirming the result below. Judges Villanti, LaRose, and Atkinson concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
  • The appeal was considered under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
  • Because the court gave no reasoning, the opinion does not disclose the issues presented or the basis for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but offers no written analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its practical significance is therefore limited to the disposition of Murray’s appeal.
