Background
Carlos Flores, proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for Polk County in lower-tribunal case number 2021-CF-005739-A000-XX. Circuit Judge Brenda P. Ramirez entered the order under review.
The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The Sixth District’s opinion does not describe Flores’s claims, the circuit court’s reasoning, or the underlying facts.
The Court’s Holding
In a per curiam decision, the Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
The court provided no written analysis or explanation for its decision. Judges Wozniak, Gannam, and Kamoutsas concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling without a written opinion.
- The appeal was handled under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
- Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion does not identify the issues raised or establish a stated rule of law.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but offers no substantive guidance for other cases. Attorneys cannot determine from the opinion itself why Flores’s arguments failed or how the court evaluated them.
