Background

VMSC Curazao N.V. and other appellants appealed a non-final order entered by the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County in lower-tribunal case number 24-12963-CA-01. Circuit Judge Peter R. Lopez entered the order.

The abbreviated appellate opinion does not identify the nature of the underlying dispute, describe the challenged order, or state the arguments presented on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s non-final order.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation, so the opinion states no legal reasoning or rule beyond the affirmance itself.

Key Takeaways

  • The challenged non-final order remains in effect.
  • The appellate court affirmed without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion supplies no facts or substantive holding that can reliably be extended beyond this case.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves this interlocutory appeal in Caterpillar Credito’s favor while leaving the circuit court’s non-final order undisturbed. Because the opinion contains only the word “Affirmed,” it offers practitioners no articulated guidance on the underlying legal issues.
