Background

The Serenoa Group, LLC petitioned the Florida First District Court of Appeal for a writ of certiorari against Gulf County and the City of Port St. Joe.

The matter reached the court as an original proceeding. The brief opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the ruling under review, or the arguments supporting the petition.

The Court’s Holding

The First District denied the petition for a writ of certiorari.

The court issued its decision per curiam, with Judges Roberts, Ray, and Long concurring. It provided no reasoning and announced no rule of law beyond denying relief.

Key Takeaways

  • The court denied Serenoa Group’s certiorari petition.
  • The decision was unanimous among the three identified panel judges.
  • Because the opinion contains no analysis, it does not explain why certiorari relief was unavailable.

Why It Matters

The denial leaves the challenged action undisturbed, but the opinion offers no substantive guidance concerning the underlying controversy or Florida’s certiorari standards.
