Background

Steven A. Minick appealed from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Michael J. Hooi presided. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute or identify the specific ruling under review.

Minick represented himself on appeal. Joyce Riccio Minick was represented by Harley Herman of the Law Office of Herman and Herman.

The Court’s Holding

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

The per curiam opinion provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues presented. Judges Northcutt, Khouzam, and Guard concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion does not identify the underlying claims, the ruling appealed, or the appellate arguments.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place. Because the appellate court supplied no factual or legal analysis, the opinion offers no stated rationale for the disposition.
