Background

John Markee appealed a nonfinal order entered by the Circuit Court for Duval County in litigation against Forest River, Inc., and Blue Compass RV, LLC. Circuit Judge Robert Michael Dees presided below.

The appellate opinion does not identify the nature of the claims, describe the challenged order, or recount the parties’ arguments. Blue Compass appeared through counsel; the opinion notes no appearance for the remaining appellee.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s nonfinal order.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. The opinion therefore provides no stated legal reasoning or rule beyond the affirmance itself.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District affirmed the nonfinal order under review.
  • Chief Judge Jay and Judges Lambert and Eisnaugle comprised the unanimous panel.
  • Because the court supplied no reasoning or factual discussion, the opinion does not establish a stated rationale for the result.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the challenged circuit-court ruling in place. Its practical significance beyond the parties is limited because the appellate court did not explain the underlying dispute or the basis for affirmance.
