Background
Barbara Garcia appealed from a decision of the County Court for Miami-Dade County in litigation involving Velocity Investments, LLC. County Court Judge Christopher Green entered the ruling under review in lower-tribunal case number 24-211006-SP-23.
Garcia represented herself on appeal. Velocity Investments was represented by Marcadis Singer P.A. and Robert J. Lindeman. The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the county court’s ruling, or the arguments presented on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the county court’s decision. Judges Fernandez, Bokor, and Gooden issued the ruling per curiam.
The opinion consists only of the word “Affirmed” and provides no reasoning, factual discussion, or statement of legal principles. The court therefore left the judgment intact without explaining its basis for doing so.
Key Takeaways
- The Third District affirmed the Miami-Dade County Court’s decision.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion establishes no stated rule of law and does not identify the issues decided.
Why It Matters
The ruling ends the appeal in Velocity Investments’ favor unless altered through further proceedings, including a timely motion for rehearing. The opinion states that it is not final until any timely rehearing motion is resolved.
Because the court supplied no reasoning, the decision offers no guidance about the underlying dispute or the legal grounds supporting affirmance.
