Background

Sheldon A. Larry appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Michelle Sisco presided.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The Second District’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, the circuit court’s ruling, Larry’s arguments, or the State’s response.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court provided no explanation for the affirmance and announced no express rule of law. Judges Villanti, LaRose, and Atkinson concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The appeal was brought pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling undisturbed. Because the opinion supplies no reasoning or factual detail, it does not identify the legal grounds on which the affirmance rests.
