Background

Key Largo Beautification, Inc. appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for Monroe County in lower-tribunal case number 24-CA-1077-P. Circuit Judge Timothy J. Koenig entered the decision under review.

The Third District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the arguments on appeal, or the relief sought. The appellate record and briefs therefore would be necessary to determine the case’s factual and legal background.

The Court’s Holding

The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. The court issued its ruling per curiam, with Judges Fernandez, Lindsey, and Gordo on the panel.

The opinion consists solely of the word “Affirmed” and provides no reasoning, legal analysis, or statement of the issues decided. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the judgment under review was left intact; it does not disclose the grounds for affirmance.

Key Takeaways

  • The Third District affirmed the Monroe County Circuit Court’s decision.
  • The ruling was a unanimous per curiam affirmance by a three-judge panel.
  • The opinion supplies no facts, analysis, or articulated legal rule.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the Third District unless further review or rehearing is available and pursued, leaving the circuit court’s judgment in place. Because the court gave no explanation, the opinion offers attorneys no articulated reasoning to apply in other cases.

The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
