Background

Brittany Tarver appealed from a trial court decision in Duval County in a post-conviction relief proceeding. The appeal was docketed in the Fifth District Court of Appeal under case number 5D2026-1554, arising from lower court case 16-2010-CF-013463-A, indicating a criminal matter originating in 2016.

The Court’s Holding

The Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s judgment in its entirety. The court issued a per curiam affirmance, indicating unanimous agreement among the three-judge panel (Justices Wallis, Soud, and MacIver) with the lower court’s decision.

Key Takeaways

  • Post-conviction relief appeal denied and trial court judgment affirmed
  • Per curiam affirmance indicates no written opinion but full appellate agreement
  • Decision subject to potential further motions under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331

Why It Matters

This decision affirms finality of the trial court’s determination in the post-conviction matter. The affirmance is not final until disposition of any timely motions for reconsideration or rehearing.
