Background
Gratto Burgos appealed from a ruling of the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Michelle Sisco presided. The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
The Second District’s opinion does not describe Burgos’s claims, the circuit court’s reasoning, or the underlying criminal case. Burgos was represented on appeal by Daniel W. Ripley of Ripley Law, PLLC.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
The court issued a per curiam decision without a written explanation. Judges Morris, Black, and Guard concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling in full.
- The decision provides no factual discussion or legal analysis.
- Because the opinion does not identify the claims presented, it establishes no stated rationale beyond the affirmance itself.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling intact but offers practitioners no written guidance about the governing law or the reasons the appeal failed.
