Background

Cody Frank Matson-Peroutka appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Sarasota County, where Judge Dana M. Moss presided.

The appellate court’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, facts, arguments, or procedural history beyond identifying the appeal and the circuit court from which it arose.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without analysis, so the opinion states no legal reasoning and identifies no particular ground for affirmance. Judges Northcutt, LaRose, and Sleet concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Second District left the circuit court’s decision in place.
  • The court provided no written analysis of the appellant’s claims.
  • The opinion establishes no express rule or rationale beyond the result in this appeal.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this stage of the appeal with the circuit court’s ruling intact. Because the appellate court did not explain its reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the underlying legal issues.
