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 Because the opinion is unpublished and no separate written opinion explaining detailed reasoning was provided, the appellate court's agreement with the lower court's result is the dispositive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.

    Unless further review is sought and stays are obtained, the parties should comply with the underlying circuit court judgment and any deadlines or obligations imposed by that order.
