Background

Travis D. Shoemaker appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Polk County in lower-tribunal case number 2023-CF-008743. Circuit Judge Michelle O. Pincket presided below.

The opinion does not identify Shoemaker’s conviction, sentence, appellate arguments, or the facts underlying the case.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without analysis or an explanation of its reasoning. Judges Nardella, Gannam, and Kamoutsas concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s judgment remains affirmed.
  • The appellate court provided no written reasoning or discussion of the issues presented.
  • The opinion was designated nonfinal until the time to seek rehearing expires and any timely rehearing motion is resolved.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Shoemaker’s appeal in the State’s favor but announces no articulated rule of law. Because the court did not disclose the facts, issues, or rationale, the opinion offers little guidance for other litigants beyond its disposition of this case.
