Appeal from a non-final order of the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County in a civil action (Lower Tribunal No. 23-28858-CA-01).
Summary
The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed a non-final circuit court order in a civil case between appellant Carlos A. Zarraluqui and appellees Fetes & Events, Inc., et al. The appeal arose from a 2023 Miami-Dade County proceeding and was argued by counsel for both sides. The appellate court issued a brief per curiam decision, simply stating 'Affirmed,' without published opinion or extended reasoning in this document. The judgment affirms the lower court's non-final ruling, and the mandate will follow after disposition of any timely motion for rehearing.

What You Should Do Next
- 1
Consider filing a motion for rehearing
If the appellant believes the panel overlooked controlling law or made an error, file a timely motion for rehearing in the Third District to preserve arguments and possibly delay issuance of mandate.
- 2
Evaluate further appellate remedies
If rehearing is denied, consult counsel promptly about seeking discretionary review in the Florida Supreme Court and verify applicable filing deadlines.
- 3
Proceed in the trial court as appropriate
Because the order was non-final, coordinate with trial counsel to pursue or defend further proceedings in the circuit court consistent with the affirmed ruling.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What did the appellate court decide?
- The appellate court affirmed the lower court's non-final order, so the trial court's ruling remains in effect.
- Does this end the case?
- No — the order was non-final and the opinion notes that the decision is not final until any timely motion for rehearing is resolved; further proceedings in the trial court may continue.
- Can the appellant seek further review?
- The appellant may seek rehearing in the Third District and, if eligible, may seek discretionary review in the Florida Supreme Court, subject to applicable deadlines and standards for review.
- Why did the court affirm?
- The published entry is a short per curiam affirmance and does not state the court's detailed reasons; it indicates the appellant did not persuade the appellate panel that reversal was warranted.
