Background
Marianne Rodrigues and Thiago Rodrigues brought a nonfinal appeal arising from proceedings against Citizens Property Insurance Corporation in the Circuit Court for Seminole County. Circuit Judge Susan Weindorf Stacy presided below.
The Fifth District’s opinion does not describe the underlying insurance dispute, identify the specific nonfinal order under review, or state the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling. Judges Makar, Soud, and Kilbane concurred in the per curiam decision.
The court issued only the word “AFFIRMED” and provided no legal analysis, factual discussion, or explanation of its reasoning.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the challenged nonfinal ruling.
- The decision was issued per curiam by a panel consisting of Judges Makar, Soud, and Kilbane.
- The opinion states no rationale and does not identify the precise issue decided.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s challenged ruling in place, but its lack of reasoning limits what can be drawn from it about Florida insurance law or the standards governing the underlying dispute.
