Background
Tammy June Grant appealed a judgment of the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County in an action involving the City of Tampa. Circuit Judge Helene L. Daniel entered the judgment under review.
Grant represented herself on appeal. The City was represented by City Attorney Scott Steady and Assistant City Attorney Ursula D. Richardson. The appellate court’s brief opinion does not describe the underlying claims, facts, arguments, or trial court ruling.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning or resolving any legal issue in a written analysis. Chief Judge Lucas and Judges Khouzam and Sleet concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The circuit court’s judgment in favor of or involving the City of Tampa remains in effect.
- The appellate court provided no factual or legal analysis supporting the affirmance.
- The decision does not announce an express rule of law for future cases.
Why It Matters
The decision ends this stage of Grant’s appeal by leaving the circuit court’s judgment undisturbed. Because the court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion offers no guidance about the underlying dispute or the appellate court’s reasoning.
