Background
Ciriaco Loreto Delacruz appealed in a case against the State of Florida. The Second District Court of Appeal issued an opinion on July 8, 2026.
Delacruz subsequently moved for rehearing and clarification concerning an unresolved motion for leave to file a supplemental brief. The September 18 order does not describe the underlying appeal, the proposed supplemental briefing, or the substance of the withdrawn opinion.
The Court’s Holding
The court granted Delacruz’s motion for rehearing and clarification regarding the unresolved motion for leave to file a supplemental brief.
The court also withdrew its July 8, 2026 opinion. The order does not resolve the merits of the appeal or state whether Delacruz may file the supplemental brief.
Key Takeaways
- The motion for rehearing and clarification was granted.
- The court withdrew its July 8, 2026 opinion.
- The order does not disclose the underlying merits or expressly decide the request for leave to file a supplemental brief.
Why It Matters
The withdrawal means the July 8 opinion no longer represents the court’s operative disposition. Further action is necessary to determine how the court will address the unresolved supplemental-briefing request and the appeal itself.
