Background
Seth Junkins, proceeding without counsel, filed an original petition for a writ of certiorari against Hannah Billingsley in Florida’s First District Court of Appeal.
The opinion does not identify the underlying dispute, the order for which Junkins sought review, or the grounds asserted in his petition. Billingsley made no appearance in the proceeding.
The Court’s Holding
The First District dismissed Junkins’s petition for a writ of certiorari.
The per curiam opinion consists solely of the disposition “DISMISSED” and provides no reasoning or basis for the dismissal. Judges Bilbrey, Treadwell, and Neff concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The court dismissed the certiorari petition.
- The decision provides no explanation for the dismissal and establishes no stated rule of law.
- The opinion 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 decision ends this original certiorari proceeding at the First District, subject to any authorized post-decision motion. Because the court supplied no facts or legal analysis, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about certiorari standards or the underlying dispute.
