Background

Luis Delgado appealed from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, where Judge Miguel Manuel de la O presided in lower-tribunal case number F87-35599A. The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).

The Third District’s opinion does not identify the order being challenged, Delgado’s arguments, or the underlying facts. It also does not describe the circuit court’s reasoning.

The Court’s Holding

The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. Judges Logue, Gordo, and Bokor issued the ruling per curiam.

The opinion consists solely of the disposition, “Affirmed,” and provides no legal analysis or explanation. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the challenged ruling was left in place; it does not state the grounds for affirmance.

Key Takeaways

  • The Third District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The decision was issued per curiam by a three-judge panel.
  • The opinion supplies no facts, analysis, or stated basis for the affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this stage of Delgado’s appeal with the challenged circuit court ruling intact, subject to any timely rehearing proceedings. Because the court gave no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the legal issues that may have been presented.
