Background
Pablo J. Picado, representing himself, appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County entered by Judge Melissa M. Polo. The appellees were 7-Eleven, Inc., Harsh Shawni, Surendra Thapa, the City of Tampa, and Bryson Evans.
The Second District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues Picado raised, or the parties’ arguments. Counsel appeared for the private appellees and separately for the City of Tampa and Evans.
The Court’s Holding
The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition.
The court supplied no reasoning or statement of law, so the opinion establishes only that the judgment or order under review remained in effect. Chief Judge Lucas and Judges Khouzam and Sleet concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
- The decision was a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not identify the underlying claims, appellate issues, or rationale for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The ruling ends this appeal in the appellees’ favor and leaves the circuit court’s decision intact. Because the court gave no reasons, the opinion provides no substantive guidance beyond the result in this case.
