Background
Nicole Michelle Geick appealed a nonfinal order from the Circuit Court for Citrus County in a proceeding involving Brandon Michael Geick. Circuit Judge Richard A. Howard entered the order under review.
The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the challenged order, the parties’ arguments, or the legal issues presented. Nicole Michelle Geick Smith appeared pro se, and Christopher V. Carlyle represented the appellee.
The Court’s Holding
The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s nonfinal order. Judges Makar, Edwards, and Harris concurred in the per curiam disposition.
The court provided no reasoning, factual analysis, or statement of legal principles. The opinion therefore establishes only that the order under review was affirmed; it does not disclose the basis for that result.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the nonfinal order from the Citrus County circuit court.
- The decision was issued per curiam by Judges Makar, Edwards, and Harris.
- Because the opinion contains no analysis, it does not identify the controlling issue or explain why affirmance was warranted.
Why It Matters
The ruling leaves the challenged nonfinal order in place. Its broader significance is limited because the court did not provide facts, reasoning, or a legal rule that attorneys could apply in other cases.
