Background
Daniel Charles Shaffer appealed to Florida’s Second District Court of Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Elizabeth G. Rice presided.
The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the issues Shaffer raised, or the circuit court ruling under review.
The Court’s Holding
The Second District affirmed in a per curiam decision. Chief Judge Lucas and Judges Labrit and Guard concurred.
The court provided no analysis or explanation for its disposition. The opinion therefore does not identify the legal grounds for affirmance or establish a stated rule of law.
Key Takeaways
- The Second District affirmed the result of the Hillsborough County circuit court proceeding.
- The decision was issued per curiam by a three-judge panel consisting of Chief Judge Lucas and Judges Labrit and Guard.
- Because the opinion contains no reasoning, no substantive holding beyond affirmance can be attributed to the court.
Why It Matters
The decision ends this appeal at the Second District with an affirmance, but its abbreviated form gives attorneys no explanation of the court’s reasoning and no fact-specific guidance for other cases.
