Background

First Water Restoration, LLC, as assignee of Maria Consuelo Rivera, appealed from a matter in the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County before Judge Christopher E. Brown. Citizens Property Insurance Corporation was the appellee.

The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the claims or defenses, the circuit court’s specific ruling, or the issues raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the governing law. Judges Sleet, Rothstein-Youakim, and Smith concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
  • The opinion contains no factual account, legal analysis, or explanation for the affirmance.
  • The opinion does not identify the circuit court’s specific ruling or disclose the appellate issues.

Why It Matters

Because the court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion establishes only that the circuit court’s decision was affirmed in this appeal. The text supplies no substantive reasoning that attorneys can apply to other disputes.
