Background
J.H. appealed from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County in a matter concerning J.B., a child. Circuit Judge Leslie K. Schultz-Kin presided below.
The Department of Children and Families and the Statewide Guardian ad Litem Office appeared as appellees. The appellate opinion does not identify the particular ruling challenged or describe the facts, arguments, or issues presented.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court in a per curiam opinion.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the governing law. Judges Morris, Rothstein-Youakim, and Atkinson concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s disposition.
- The opinion does not disclose the nature of the challenged ruling or the legal issues raised.
- Because the court supplied no analysis, the opinion establishes no stated rationale for the result.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s disposition in place, but its one-word affirmance offers practitioners no guidance about the facts, legal standards, or reasoning that controlled the outcome.
