Background

Cory Robert Corrado, proceeding without counsel, appealed from the Circuit Court for Pinellas County, where Judge Joseph Anthony Bulone presided.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The opinion provides no facts about Corrado’s underlying case, the claims 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 opinion consisting only of the disposition and supplied no reasoning or discussion of the issues presented. Judges Khouzam, Black, and Smith concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The decision was issued per curiam without an explanatory opinion.
  • The opinion establishes no stated rationale concerning the merits of Corrado’s claims.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but provides no written analysis for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases. Its practical significance is therefore principally limited to the disposition of Corrado’s appeal.
