Background

A.T., identified as a child, appealed a matter from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County. Circuit Judge Orlando A. Prescott presided below, and the lower-tribunal number was J22-1108.

The Third District Court of Appeal considered the appeal in docket number 3D25-1350. The court’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the ruling under review, the parties’ arguments, or the legal issues presented.

The Court’s Holding

The Third District affirmed the circuit court in a per curiam opinion. The disposition consists solely of the word “Affirmed.”

Because the court provided no reasoning, the opinion does not announce a legal rule or explain the grounds for affirmance. The opinion also states that it is not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Key Takeaways

  • The Third District affirmed the matter appealed from the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court.
  • The decision is a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion supplies no factual background, legal analysis, or description of the ruling under review.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves this appeal at the district-court level by affirmance, subject to the stated rehearing-finality notice. Because the court did not explain its reasoning, the opinion offers no articulated legal analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
