Background

Broderick Thomas appealed from the Circuit Court for Orange County in lower tribunal case number 2021-CF-012586-A-O. The appellate opinion identifies Diego M. Madrigal, III, as the circuit judge.

The Sixth District’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the specific ruling under review, the issues Thomas raised, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the lower court without a written explanation. The decision consists solely of the disposition “AFFIRMED.”

The per curiam opinion does not state a legal rule or explain the grounds for affirmance. Chief Judge Traver and Judges Stargel and White concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the matter appealed from the Orange County Circuit Court.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion provides no factual discussion or precedential analysis of the issues presented.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the lower court’s result undisturbed but offers no reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its practical significance is therefore principally to the parties and the disposition of this appeal.
