Background
Andrew Anthony Misiak, proceeding pro se, appealed a ruling from the Circuit Court for Orange County in lower tribunal case number 1995-CF-000989. Circuit Judge Leticia Marques entered the ruling under review.
The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The appellate opinion does not describe Misiak’s claims, the circuit court’s reasoning, or the specific relief he requested.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling in a per curiam decision. Chief Judge Traver and Judges Nardella and White concurred.
The court supplied no written analysis or explanation for its disposition. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the challenged ruling was affirmed and does not identify any particular legal ground for that result.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the Orange County Circuit Court’s ruling.
- The decision was unanimous and issued per curiam.
- Because the opinion contains no reasoning, no broader holding can be attributed to the court.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling intact without creating an explained appellate rule for future cases. Attorneys should not infer approval of any specific rationale because the court did not identify one.
The opinion was designated nonfinal until the time to seek rehearing expired and any timely rehearing motion was resolved.
