Background
Holly Rebecca Butler, proceeding without counsel, filed an original petition for a writ of prohibition against Rex Aaron Veasey, Sr., in Florida’s First District Court of Appeal. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the tribunal or conduct Butler sought to prohibit, or the legal grounds asserted in her petition.
Veasey did not appear in the proceeding. The appellate court resolved the petition in a brief per curiam opinion.
The Court’s Holding
The First District Court of Appeal denied Butler’s petition for a writ of prohibition.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the petition’s merits. Judges Roberts, Ray, and Long concurred in the per curiam disposition. The decision was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Key Takeaways
- The court denied the requested writ of prohibition.
- The per curiam opinion supplied no factual background or legal analysis.
- The ruling addressed an original proceeding in the appellate court and did not identify the underlying controversy.
Why It Matters
The decision ends Butler’s request for prohibition in the First District, subject to any timely and authorized post-decision motion. Because the court issued an unexplained denial, the opinion offers no articulated rule or reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases.
