Background

Travis Anthony Cabrera appealed from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Michelle Sisco presided.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The appellate opinion does not describe Cabrera’s underlying case, the arguments he raised, or the circuit court’s reasoning.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court issued a per curiam disposition consisting only of the word “Affirmed” and provided no explanation of its reasoning. Judges Khouzam, Black, and Smith concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Second District left the circuit court’s decision in place.
  • The court resolved the appeal without a written analysis of Cabrera’s claims.
  • The brief opinion establishes no articulated rule or reasoning beyond the affirmance itself.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this appeal with the challenged circuit court ruling intact. Because the opinion supplies no facts or legal analysis, its significance is limited to the disposition of Cabrera’s case and it offers little guidance for other litigants.
