Background

Adebayo O. Fayiga appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, where Judge Lourdes Simon presided. Fayiga represented himself on appeal, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., was represented by counsel.

The Third District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court provided no reasoning or additional explanation for its disposition. The opinion states only: “Affirmed.”

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision remains in place.
  • The three-judge panel issued a unanimous per curiam affirmance.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, legal issues, or basis for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves this appeal in the appellee’s favor but supplies no written legal analysis. Because the opinion does not identify the issues presented or explain the court’s reasoning, no broader substantive rule can reliably be drawn from it.
