Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, Judge Lindsay Alvarez
Summary
The Florida Second District Court of Appeal issued a brief per curiam decision affirming the lower court's ruling. The appeal was taken by Patrick Gilles from an order of the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, presided over by Judge Lindsay Alvarez. Both parties appeared pro se. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's decision without published opinion and the panel of judges concurred.
Issue Decided
- Whether the circuit court's order being appealed should be reversed by the District Court of Appeal
Court's Reasoning
The court issued a per curiam affirmance, indicating it found no reversible error in the circuit court's ruling. Because the opinion is unpublished and no separate written opinion explaining detailed reasoning was provided, the appellate court's agreement with the lower court's result is the dispositive outcome.
