Background

Ray C. Carter, Jr. appealed from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Joseph M. Tompkins presided.

The appellate opinion does not identify the underlying dispute, the order under review, the parties’ arguments, or the circuit court’s reasoning. It states only that the appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court issued a per curiam disposition without explaining its reasoning. Judges LaRose, Labrit, and Guard concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s ruling remains in effect.
  • The Second District provided no written analysis or explanation for its decision.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying subject matter or the specific ruling challenged on appeal.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves this appeal in the appellee’s favor but supplies no substantive reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases.

Because the opinion omits the underlying facts, issues, and legal analysis, no broader doctrinal conclusion can reliably be drawn from it.
