Background
Shalonda Johnson-Funny appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Orange County in litigation against the Orlando Utilities Commission. Circuit Judge Eric J. Netcher presided over the lower-court proceeding, docketed as 2019-CA-008898-O.
The appellate court’s opinion does not describe the parties’ dispute, the claims asserted, the trial court’s ruling, or the arguments raised on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. Judges Stargel, Nardella, and Smith concurred in the per curiam disposition.
The court provided no written reasoning or legal analysis. The opinion therefore establishes only that the challenged judgment or order was left in place; it does not disclose the panel’s rationale or announce a rule of law.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the Orange County Circuit Court’s decision.
- The disposition was unanimous and issued per curiam.
- Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion does not identify the underlying issues or explain why affirmance was warranted.
Why It Matters
The decision ends the appeal in the Orlando Utilities Commission’s favor, subject to any timely rehearing proceedings, while leaving the lower court’s ruling intact.
Because the court issued an unexplained affirmance, the opinion offers no substantive guidance for attorneys or lower courts beyond the result in this case.
