Background
Alachua Today, Inc. appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for Alachua County in litigation against DW Ashton Catery, Inc., Mary Morgan Pittman Combs, and Garvin Keith Combs. Circuit Judge George M. Wright entered the decision under review.
The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the arguments on appeal, or the applicable legal issues.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. The disposition was issued per curiam, with Judges Kelsey, M.K. Thomas, and Long concurring.
The court provided no written reasoning or statement of law. The opinion therefore establishes only that the judgment or order under review was affirmed, not the grounds on which the appellate court reached that result.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, legal issues, or basis for the circuit court’s ruling.
Why It Matters
The decision ends the appeal in the appellees’ favor unless altered through an authorized, timely post-decision motion. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the legal questions involved in the underlying case.
