Background
Charles Walters appealed from a decision of the County Court for Hernando County in lower-tribunal case number 27-2025-SC-3016. County Judge Barbara-Jo Bell entered the decision under review.
Walters and appellee Eric Jose Colina Sanchez each appeared pro se. The appellate opinion does not describe the parties’ dispute, the county court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the county court’s decision. Chief Judge Jay and Judges Harris and Boatwright concurred in the per curiam disposition.
The court provided no written reasoning and announced no express rule of law. The opinion states only that the judgment was affirmed and notes that the decision was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the Hernando County Court’s decision.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, appellate issues, or legal analysis.
Why It Matters
The ruling leaves the county court’s decision in place as between Walters and Colina Sanchez. Because the appellate court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the law governing the underlying dispute.
