Background
Arron Adams, proceeding without counsel, filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in the Florida First District Court of Appeal against UNFI Pompano, formerly known as Supervalue, and Constitution State Services/Travelers.
The proceeding invoked the court’s original jurisdiction. The opinion identifies January 17, 2023, as the date of the underlying accident but provides no additional facts, procedural history, or description of the ruling Adams sought to challenge.
The Court’s Holding
The First District Court of Appeal dismissed the petition. Its per curiam opinion consists solely of the disposition “DISMISSED.”
The court did not state a reason for dismissal or address the petition’s merits. Judges Lewis, M.K. Thomas, and Long concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The court dismissed Adams’s petition for a writ of certiorari.
- The opinion does not explain whether the dismissal rested on jurisdiction, procedure, mootness, or another ground.
- Because the court supplied no legal analysis, the decision announces no stated rule governing future certiorari petitions.
Why It Matters
The decision ends this original certiorari proceeding at the First District, subject to disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331. Its value as guidance is limited because the court did not disclose the basis for dismissal.
