Background

Pedro Aguilar appealed from the Circuit Court for Collier County, where Circuit Judge Joseph G. Foster presided over lower-tribunal case number 2017-CF-000467.

The Sixth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the challenged ruling, the issues Aguilar raised, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.

The court issued a per curiam opinion consisting only of the disposition and provided no reasoning or legal analysis. Judges Smith, Mize, and Brownlee concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision remains in place.
  • The appellate court gave no explanation for affirmance.
  • The opinion identifies Judges Smith, Mize, and Brownlee as the participating panel.

Why It Matters

Because the opinion contains no factual discussion or legal reasoning, it resolves Aguilar’s appeal but offers no stated rule or analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
