The Court’s Holding

The Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. Judges Wallis, Eisnaugle, and Soud concurred.

Key Takeaways

• The circuit court’s judgment was affirmed.
• The appellate court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues presented.
• The decision was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the lower court’s judgment in place. Because the opinion contains no factual discussion or legal analysis, it does not identify the grounds for affirmance or announce a substantive rule of law.
