2

Affirmed. See Fla. Detroit Diesel v. Nathai, 28 So. 3d 182, 184 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010) (“We have elected to review the order under the summary disposition procedure in rule 9.315(a) of the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure. This rule authorizes an appellate court to summarily affirm an order of the lower tribunal if ‘no preliminary basis for reversal has been demonstrated.’ As explained in the court commentary to rule 9.315, the purpose of the summary affirmance procedure is to provide an expeditious method of deciding an appeal that is unmeritorious.”). See also Custer Med. Ctr. v. United Auto. Ins. Co., 62 So. 3d 1086, 1092 (Fla. 2010) (“We have consistently observed that ‘[a]s a case travels up the judicial ladder, review should consistently become narrower, not broader’” and therefore on second-tier certiorari, the “‘inquiry is limited to whether the circuit court afforded procedural due process and whether the circuit court applied the correct law,’ or, as otherwise stated, departed from the essential requirements of law.” (quoting Haines City Cmty. Dev. v. Heggs, 658 So. 2d 523, 530 (Fla. 1995))).
