Background
K&O Patriots LLC, John Mendoza, and Christian Mendoza appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for Escambia County, where Judge Stephen A. Pitre presided. Fith Restaurant Group, LLC, Matt Shipp, also known as Robert Matthew Shipp, and Regina Shipp were the appellees.
The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition. Judges Roberts, Winokur, and Treadwell concurred.
Because the court issued only the word “AFFIRMED” and provided no reasoning, the opinion establishes no stated rationale for the result and does not identify which arguments the court accepted or rejected.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the Escambia County Circuit Court’s decision.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion supplies no facts, legal analysis, or description of the issues presented.
Why It Matters
The ruling leaves the circuit court’s decision in place as between these parties. Its broader significance cannot be determined from the opinion because the appellate court did not explain its reasoning or identify the governing legal issues.
