Background

Little Robert Robertson appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Orange County in litigation against the City of Orlando and Michael Maya. Circuit Judge Michael Deen presided over the lower-court case, docketed as No. 2023-CA-012569.

The appellate court’s disposition does not describe Robertson’s claims, the underlying events, the circuit court’s reasoning, or the issues raised on appeal. Robertson represented himself, while counsel represented the appellees.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written opinion or explanation. Accordingly, the disposition announces no express legal rule or reasoning beyond leaving the lower court’s ruling intact.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The decision was unanimous, with Chief Judge Traver and Judges Stargel and Brownlee concurring.
  • Because the court provided no written reasoning, the opinion does not identify the appellate issues or establish an articulated rule of law.

Why It Matters

The ruling ends the appeal in the appellees’ favor unless altered through rehearing or further review. Its significance outside the parties’ dispute is limited because the court did not explain its reasoning or address the merits in a written opinion.
