Background

Bleu Allen appealed from a judgment or order of the County Court for Seminole County in lower-court case number 2023-SC-005118. County Judge Sylvia Anne Grunor presided below.

The appellate opinion does not describe the dispute, the claims or defenses, the county court’s ruling, or the issues Allen raised on appeal. Keisha M. Marquez Rios and Pedro Thomas appeared through counsel; the opinion notes no appearance for the remaining appellee, Daniel W. Allen.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the county court’s decision in a per curiam disposition.

Because the court issued only the word “AFFIRMED” and supplied no reasoning, the opinion announces no express legal rule and does not disclose the panel’s basis for affirmance.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District left the county court’s ruling in place.
  • The court decided the appeal through a unanimous per curiam affirmance.
  • The opinion provides no factual discussion, legal analysis, or explanation of the grounds for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the Fifth District unless affected by a timely authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Its practical significance is limited to affirming the result below; the opinion itself offers no written reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases.
