Background
Ozell Alan Parker Jr. appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Alachua County. Circuit Judge James M. Colaw presided below.
The First District’s opinion does not identify Parker’s conviction, sentence, appellate arguments, or the facts underlying the case.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues presented. Judges Bilbrey, M.K. Thomas, and Long concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The circuit court’s judgment remains in place.
- The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not disclose the claims raised on appeal or establish an articulated rule of law.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Parker’s appeal in the State’s favor but offers no substantive guidance for other cases. Its significance is therefore principally case-specific.
The decision was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
