Background

Sabrina Cupid appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, where Judge Lourdes Simon presided. The appellate opinion identifies the lower-tribunal case as No. 23-23113-CA-01.

Cupid represented herself on appeal. Lyons-White made no appearance. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, or the issues Cupid raised.

The Court’s Holding

The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the facts or legal issues. The opinion therefore establishes only that the lower court’s disposition remained in place; it does not disclose the panel’s rationale.

Key Takeaways

  • The Third District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
  • The ruling was issued per curiam by Judges Fernandez, Logue, and Miller.
  • Because the opinion consists only of “Affirmed,” it offers no explanation of the governing law or the grounds for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the Third District, subject to any timely rehearing proceedings, while leaving the circuit court’s disposition intact.

Because the court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion supplies no written legal analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
