Background
Dennis Holleran, proceeding without counsel, appealed from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Thomas N. Palermo presided.
The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The brief opinion does not identify the claims Holleran raised, the underlying conviction or sentence, or the circuit court’s reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
The court issued a per curiam disposition consisting solely of “Affirmed” and provided no legal analysis or explanation. Judges Khouzam, Black, and Smith concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
- The appeal was considered under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
- Because the opinion contains no reasoning, it does not state the grounds for affirmance or resolve any identified legal issue in a written analysis.
Why It Matters
The decision ends this appeal with the circuit court’s ruling left intact. Its practical significance is limited because the court did not describe the underlying claims or provide reasoning that could guide litigants in other cases.
