Background

Ronnie Balfrey and JoAnn Balfrey appealed from the County Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Melissa C. Black presided.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. Judges Rothstein-Youakim, Smith, and Guard concurred.

  • The appellate court provided no reasoning or discussion of the underlying dispute.
