Background
Austin Broer appealed an order entered by the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County in litigation against Ryan Balog. Circuit Judge Emily Ann Peacock entered the order under review.
The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130, which governs appeals from specified nonfinal orders. The Second District’s brief opinion does not identify the underlying facts, describe the order, or state the parties’ substantive arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s order in a per curiam opinion. Judges Silberman, LaRose, and Guard concurred.
The court provided no independent reasoning and cited Perlmutter v. Federal Insurance Co., 434 So. 3d 681, 688–89 (Fla. 2026), as authority for its disposition. The opinion does not explain how Perlmutter applied to the circumstances of the case.
Key Takeaways
- The Second District affirmed the nonfinal order under review.
- The court relied on Perlmutter v. Federal Insurance Co. without supplying additional analysis.
- Because the opinion omits the underlying facts and legal arguments, its text supports no broader characterization of the dispute or holding.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the Hillsborough County circuit court’s order in place and signals that the cited portions of Perlmutter controlled the appeal. Its practical value beyond the parties is limited because the court did not describe the order, the disputed issue, or its reasoning.
