Background

Bruce Cunningham appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for Pinellas County, where Judge Susan St. John presided.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The opinion provides no facts, arguments, or description of the circuit court’s ruling.

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 Northcutt, LaRose, and Sleet concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision remains in effect.
  • The appellate court provided no explanation for its affirmance.
  • The opinion does not identify the underlying facts, legal claims, or relief Cunningham sought.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Cunningham’s appeal but announces no stated legal rule or reasoning. Its significance is therefore limited to the affirmance of the circuit court’s decision on the record before the appellate court.
