Background
Roberto Rodriguez appealed from a ruling of the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County in lower-tribunal case number F21-16783. Circuit Judge Miguel M. de la O entered the ruling under review.
The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). Rodriguez represented himself, while the Attorney General’s Office appeared for the State. The opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the nature of the ruling appealed, the arguments presented, or the parties’ positions.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling. The decision was issued per curiam by a panel consisting of Judges Fernandez, Miller, and Lobree.
The court provided no analysis or explanation for its decision. The opinion states only “Affirmed” and therefore establishes no express reasoning beyond leaving the lower court’s ruling in place.
Key Takeaways
- The Third District affirmed the ruling entered in Miami-Dade County circuit court.
- The court issued a per curiam decision without explaining the factual or legal basis for the affirmance.
- The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Rodriguez’s appeal at the district-court level by leaving the circuit court’s ruling undisturbed. Because the court supplied no reasoning and did not identify the precise ruling under review, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the underlying legal issues.
