Background

Reece Shoup, proceeding without counsel, brought a nonfinal appeal from the Circuit Court for Hernando County. The appealed order arose from circuit-court case number 2022-CA-000954 and was entered by Judge Pamela S. Vergara.

The opinion identifies the Hernando County Detention Center as the appellee but provides no facts about the underlying dispute, the nature of the challenged nonfinal order, or the arguments presented on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s nonfinal order.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. Judges Edwards, Harris, and Boatwright concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The challenged nonfinal order remains in effect because the appellate court affirmed it.
  • The decision supplies no reasoning or factual discussion from which to derive a broader legal rule.
  • The disposition was not final until resolution of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves this nonfinal appeal in the detention center’s favor but offers no precedential analysis on the underlying issues. Attorneys should therefore avoid reading the affirmance as adopting any particular rationale beyond leaving the appealed order undisturbed.
