Background

Elissa Cook appealed from a ruling of the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County in litigation against HCA Florida Healthcare and other appellees. Circuit Judge Migna Sanchez-Llorens presided over the lower-court proceeding.

The appellate opinion does not identify the claims, describe the underlying facts, specify the ruling under review, or state the arguments raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court provided no analysis or explanation for its decision. The opinion therefore establishes only that the unidentified ruling under review was affirmed.

Key Takeaways

  • The Third District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The decision was issued per curiam by a three-judge panel consisting of Judges Logue, Lindsey, and Gooden.
  • The opinion does not disclose the facts, legal issues, nature of the ruling under review, or basis for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves this appeal in favor of the appellees, subject to disposition of any timely motion for rehearing. Because the court supplied no reasoning or description of the issues, the opinion offers no stated legal rule or analysis for application in other cases.
