Background

Sonata West Orange, LLC, doing business as Serenades by Sonata-West Orange, and Sonata Heath Care Tenant, LLC, formerly known as Sonata Health Care, LLC, appealed from a proceeding in the Circuit Court for Orange County. Circuit Judge Brian S. Sandor presided below.

The Sixth District identified the matter as an appeal pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130. The opinion provides no facts about the underlying dispute, the relief sought, the challenged ruling, or the arguments presented on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling. Its disposition consists solely of “AFFIRMED.”

The court issued a per curiam opinion without explaining its reasoning or resolving any stated legal question. Judges Nardella, White, and Brownlee concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130.
  • Because the court supplied no reasoning or factual discussion, the opinion establishes no articulated rule beyond the result in this case.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but offers practitioners no explanation of the appellate court’s reasoning. The opinion therefore should not be read to establish facts, procedural details, or substantive holdings that do not appear in its text.
