Background

Rico Shandel Young appealed a ruling from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Wesley D. Tibbals presided.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The opinion does not describe Young’s underlying claims, the circuit court’s reasoning, or the facts of the case.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.

The per curiam opinion provided no analysis or explanation for the affirmance. Judges Northcutt, LaRose, and Sleet concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The appeal was considered under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
  • The opinion states no facts, legal analysis, or rationale for the disposition.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but supplies no written reasoning that attorneys can apply to other cases. Its significance is therefore limited to the disposition of Young’s appeal.
