Background

Christopher James Logan Stacey appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Escambia County, where Judge Linda L. Nobles presided. The appellate opinion does not identify the underlying charges, Stacey’s arguments, or the specific ruling under review.

The Florida First District Court of Appeal resolved the case through a per curiam affirmance. The opinion contains no discussion of the facts, procedural history, or parties’ legal positions.

The Court’s Holding

The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. The court provided no written reasoning or statement of law explaining its disposition.

Judges Kelsey, Long, and Treadwell concurred. The decision was designated nonfinal until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the Escambia County circuit court’s decision.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, legal issues, or grounds for appeal.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but supplies no articulated legal analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore primarily to the parties and the disposition of this appeal.
