Background
Stuart Skrabec filed an original proceeding in the Florida First District Court of Appeal seeking a writ of prohibition against the State of Florida.
The opinion does not describe the underlying case, the ruling or proceeding Skrabec sought to prohibit, or the arguments supporting his petition. The State made no appearance in the appellate proceeding.
The Court’s Holding
In a per curiam decision, the First District Court of Appeal denied Skrabec’s petition for a writ of prohibition.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the legal standard governing prohibition. Judges Kelsey, M.K. Thomas, and Nordby concurred, and the decision was designated nonfinal pending disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Key Takeaways
- The First District denied Skrabec’s petition for a writ of prohibition.
- The court issued an unexplained per curiam denial and disclosed no facts about the underlying dispute.
- The State filed no appearance in the proceeding.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Skrabec’s request for prohibition but supplies no explanation that attorneys can apply to other cases. Because the opinion contains neither facts nor legal analysis, it should not be read as establishing a broader rule about when prohibition is available.
