Background
Phillip F. Carey and Ellen Marie Chiocca Carey appealed a ruling of the Circuit Court for Orange County in lower-tribunal case number 2022-CA-000168-O. Circuit Judge Jeffrey L. Ashton presided below.
The opinion identifies Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Company as the appellee but does not describe the underlying facts, claims, legal issues, or nature of the ruling under review.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling. Judges Stargel, White, and Kamoutsas concurred in the per curiam disposition.
The written opinion contains only the disposition and provides no reasoning, legal analysis, or explanation of the grounds for affirmance. It therefore establishes the result of the appeal but does not announce a substantive rule of law.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the ruling appealed from the Orange County Circuit Court.
- The court issued a written per curiam disposition without explanatory reasoning.
- The opinion does not identify the underlying facts, claims, issues presented, or basis for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision ends the appeal in the appellee’s favor unless further review or rehearing changes the disposition. Because the opinion offers no analysis, it provides no stated rationale for attorneys to apply beyond its resolution of this particular appeal.
