Background
Livingston Perry, IV appealed a judgment from the Circuit Court for Duval County (lower court case no. 2023-CF-10125-A). The appellate opinion provided does not detail the underlying facts, charges, or nature of the proceedings before the trial court.
The Court’s Holding
The Fifth District Court of Appeal issued a per curiam affirmance, upholding the lower court’s judgment without issuing a written opinion explaining the court’s reasoning. Judges Edwards, Eisnaugle, and Harris concurred in the affirmance.
As a per curiam affirmance without substantive opinion, this decision carries no precedential value beyond affirming the specific trial court judgment in this case.
Key Takeaways
- The trial court judgment was affirmed
- No written opinion was issued by the appellate court
- The decision is not final until any timely motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331 is resolved
Why It Matters
Per curiam affirmances without written opinions offer limited guidance to practitioners. Without the court’s reasoning, attorneys cannot discern the legal issues decided or the court’s analysis.
