Background

Arthur Sager appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Monroe County in lower-tribunal case number 2015-CA-641-K. Madalina Blanco and the other appellees filed a cross-appeal.

The Third District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion.

The court provided no reasoning and did not separately discuss the appeal or cross-appeal. The opinion was designated nonfinal until disposition of any timely motion for rehearing.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision was affirmed.
  • The three-judge panel issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion identifies an appeal and cross-appeal but does not disclose the underlying facts or legal issues.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling undisturbed, but its lack of factual discussion or legal reasoning limits its usefulness as guidance in other cases.
