Background

Maryla Madura, Andrzej Madura, and Anna Dolinska-Madura appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Manatee County involving The Fairways, Townhouses, and Villas Association, Inc. Circuit Judge Charles Sniffen entered the decision under review.

The appellants represented themselves. The opinion states that the appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130, but it does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, or the arguments presented on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges Rothstein-Youakim, Smith, and Guard concurred.

The court provided no reasoning, legal analysis, or statement of the issues. The opinion therefore establishes only that the challenged ruling was affirmed; it does not identify the grounds for affirmance.

Key Takeaways

  • The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The decision was issued per curiam by a three-judge panel.
  • Because the opinion contains no analysis, it does not explain the factual or legal basis for the result.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this appeal with the circuit court’s challenged ruling left in place. Its practical significance beyond the parties is limited because the appellate court did not provide reasoning or announce a legal rule.
