Background

Donna Marie Buckley Heller appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for Manatee County, where Judge Kevin Bruning presided.

The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, or the arguments raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning. Judges Black, Sleet, and Atkinson concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision was affirmed.
  • The appellate court provided no written reasoning for the disposition.
  • The opinion does not identify the underlying issues or the grounds asserted on appeal.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the circuit court’s decision in place. Because the appellate court supplied no reasoning or factual discussion, the opinion offers no stated legal analysis for application beyond this appeal.
