Background

Larry Donald Biddle appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Seminole County in criminal case number 2022-CF-002573-A. Circuit Judge Jessica Recksiedler presided below.

The appellate court’s opinion does not identify the offense, the challenged ruling, Biddle’s arguments, or the State’s response. It therefore provides no factual or procedural detail beyond the existence of the criminal appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. The ruling was issued per curiam, with Judges Lambert, Edwards, and Kilbane concurring.

The court supplied no written reasoning, addressed no specific legal issue, and announced no rule of law. The disposition was not final until resolution of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District affirmed the decision under review.
  • The per curiam opinion contains no factual discussion or legal analysis.
  • The opinion does not reveal which claims Biddle raised or the grounds on which the circuit court’s decision was upheld.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the State’s favor, subject to any authorized post-decision motion. Because the court gave no reasoning, the opinion offers no express guidance on the substantive or procedural issues that may have been presented.
