Background
Curtis Pace appealed from the Circuit Court for Manatee County, where Judge Teresa Kaklis Dees presided. The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
The Second District’s opinion does not identify the underlying charges, the specific ruling challenged, Pace’s arguments, or the circuit court’s reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
The per curiam opinion contains no legal analysis or explanation for the affirmance. Judges Silberman, Rothstein-Youakim, and Labrit concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Second District left the circuit court’s ruling in place.
- The appeal was resolved by a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion provides no facts or reasoning from which to derive a broader legal rule.
Why It Matters
The decision ends this appeal with the challenged circuit court ruling intact. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the legal issues that may have been presented.
