Background

Cynthia Kay Alday appealed from the Circuit Court for Manatee County, where Judge Kevin R. Bruning presided. Alday represented herself on appeal, while Angela D. Flaherty represented appellee David Bryan Alday.

The appellate opinion does not identify the order or judgment challenged, describe the underlying dispute, or state the arguments raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning. Judges LaRose, Morris, and Labrit concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision remains in effect.
  • The Second District provided no written analysis of the issues presented.
  • All three panel members concurred in the disposition.

Why It Matters

Because the court affirmed without a written explanation, the decision resolves this appeal but supplies no articulated legal rule or reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases.
