Background

James A. Moore appealed a ruling of the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Michelle Sisco presided.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The opinion does not identify the underlying claims, relevant facts, or reasoning of the circuit court.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. Judges Silberman, Rothstein-Youakim, and Labrit concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s ruling remains in effect.
  • The appellate court provided no reasoning or discussion of the underlying issues.
  • The decision was unanimous among the three identified panel judges.

Why It Matters

Because the court affirmed without an explanatory opinion, the decision resolves Moore’s appeal but offers no substantive guidance on the legal issues involved.
