Background

McLari Logistics, Inc., in several stated capacities, and Mittchell McLari petitioned the Florida Second District Court of Appeal for a writ of certiorari in a matter arising from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County.

The circuit-court proceeding was before Judge Robin Fernandez. The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the challenged ruling, or the arguments advanced by the parties.

The Court’s Holding

The Second District dismissed the petition for writ of certiorari.

The per curiam opinion consists only of the word “Dismissed” and provides no reasoning or stated basis for the disposition. Judges Sleet, Rothstein-Youakim, and Smith concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The petition for writ of certiorari was dismissed.
  • The court did not identify whether dismissal rested on jurisdiction, procedure, mootness, or another ground.
  • The opinion contains no discussion of the underlying facts or legal issues and therefore announces no articulated rule of law.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this certiorari proceeding without a merits analysis or precedential explanation. Because the court supplied no rationale, practitioners should not treat the dismissal as resolving any particular substantive or procedural issue beyond the disposition of this petition.
