Background
1898, LLC and other appellants appealed rulings from the Circuit Court for Escambia County in litigation against Skanska USA Civil Southeast, Inc. and Skanska USA Civil, Inc. Circuit Judges Jan Shackelford, Jennifer J. Frydrychowicz, and Amy P. Brodersen were identified as the judges below.
The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the claims asserted, the challenged rulings, or the parties’ arguments. It therefore provides no factual or procedural detail beyond identifying the parties and the lower court.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s disposition. The decision was issued per curiam, with Judges Roberts, Ray, and Treadwell concurring.
The court supplied no reasoning, legal analysis, or explanation of the grounds for affirmance. The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the circuit court’s disposition in full.
- The per curiam opinion contains no discussion of the facts, issues, or governing law.
- The decision remains subject to any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Why It Matters
The ruling leaves the circuit court’s disposition intact, but the absence of a written explanation limits what attorneys can draw from the decision about the merits or the appellate court’s reasoning. The opinion itself announces only the result and does not establish a stated rule of law for future disputes.
