Background

James M. Cuyler appealed from a matter in the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Helene L. Daniel presided. The abbreviated appellate opinion does not identify the nature of the underlying dispute or specify the ruling under review.

Cuyler represented himself on appeal. Freedom Mortgage Corporation was represented by counsel.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court matter in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no reasoning, factual discussion, or statement of the legal issues presented. Chief Judge Lucas and Judges Khouzam and Sleet concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Second District affirmed the circuit court matter.
  • The decision was issued per curiam without an explanatory opinion.
  • The opinion does not identify the appealed ruling or disclose the grounds for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves this appeal but supplies no written analysis for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases. Its abbreviated form also means that no conclusions can reliably be drawn from the opinion about the underlying claims, procedural ruling, or rationale for affirmance.
