Background
Ada Luz Pineiro appealed a ruling of the Circuit Court for Volusia County in her case against Publix Super Markets, Inc. Circuit Judge Randell H. Rowe, III, presided over the trial-court proceedings.
The appellate court’s decision does not describe the underlying dispute, the trial court’s ruling, the issues Pineiro raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s judgment.
The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. Chief Judge Jay and Judges Lambert and MacIver concurred. The decision remains subject to disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District left the trial court’s judgment in place.
- The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues presented.
- Because the opinion contains no facts or legal analysis, it does not identify any broader rule applied to the dispute.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Pineiro’s appeal in Publix’s favor, subject to any authorized post-decision motion. Its practical significance is limited to affirmance of the judgment because the court did not issue an explanatory opinion.
