Background

Harry Barnett appealed from the Circuit Court for Monroe County, where Judge Timothy J. Koenig presided in lower-tribunal case number 22-CA-120-K. The appellate caption identifies Progressive American Insurance Company and others as appellees.

Barnett represented himself on appeal. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the ruling under review, the parties’ arguments, or the applicable legal issues.

The Court’s Holding

The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling in a per curiam opinion.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the facts or law. The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Key Takeaways

  • The Third District affirmed the ruling under review.
  • The court issued its decision per curiam through a three-judge panel.
  • The opinion does not identify the basis for the affirmance or describe the underlying circuit-court ruling.

Why It Matters

Because the opinion consists only of an affirmance, it supplies no legal analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its significance is confined to the appellate disposition reflected in the opinion, subject to any timely rehearing proceedings.
