Background
Kevin Michael LaCamera appealed from a decision of the Florida Department of Revenue’s Child Support Program. The Department and Alyssa Jean Anikeyev were the appellees.
LaCamera represented himself on appeal. The Department appeared through counsel, while Anikeyev made no appearance. The opinion provides no details about the underlying child-support dispute, the administrative ruling, or the arguments raised on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the Department’s decision. The court issued a per curiam affirmance consisting only of the word “AFFIRMED.”
Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion establishes no stated rule of law and does not identify which issues were presented or why the Department’s decision survived appellate review. Judges Ray, Kelsey, and Winokur concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The First District left the Department of Revenue’s child-support decision in place.
- The court affirmed without a written explanation of its reasoning.
- The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, appellate arguments, or legal basis for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The disposition ends this stage of the appeal in the Department’s favor, subject to any timely and authorized post-decision motion under the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure.
For practitioners, the decision offers no substantive guidance beyond its case-specific result because the court did not discuss the facts, issues, or governing law.
