Background
Alex Witherbee, proceeding without counsel, appealed from the Circuit Court for Pasco County, where Circuit Judge Gregory G. Groger presided.
The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The Second District’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the relief Witherbee sought, or the circuit court’s reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
The per curiam opinion consists only of the word “Affirmed” and provides no legal analysis or explanation. Judges Silberman, Rothstein-Youakim, and Labrit concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Second District left the circuit court’s ruling in place.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- The opinion identifies no underlying facts or substantive legal issue.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Witherbee’s appeal but offers no written reasoning for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases. Any assessment of the underlying dispute or the basis for affirmance would require review of the circuit court record and appellate filings.
