Background

D & DWA Lake City, LLC, doing business as Hitone Fitness, appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for Columbia County. Circuit Judge Frederick L. Koberlein, Jr., entered the decision under review.

D.R. Nickelson & Co., Inc., and Shannon Powers were the appellees. The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the trial court’s ruling, the arguments raised on appeal, or the applicable law.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. The disposition was issued per curiam, with Judges Lewis, Ray, and Winokur concurring.

The court provided no written reasoning or explanation for its decision. The opinion therefore establishes only that the judgment or order under review was affirmed; it does not identify the grounds supporting that result.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the Columbia County Circuit Court’s decision.
  • The ruling was a per curiam affirmance without an explanatory opinion.
  • The opinion supplies no facts, legal analysis, or basis for the affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the appellees’ favor, subject to disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331. Because the court did not explain its reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the underlying legal issues.
