Background

The State of Florida appealed an order or judgment involving Darrius Bryant from the Circuit Court for Orange County. Circuit Judge Diego M. Madrigal, III, presided in the lower tribunal.

The appellate opinion does not describe the charges, the challenged ruling, the underlying facts, or the arguments raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. Judges Wozniak, Smith, and Pratt concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision remains in place.
  • The appellate court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues presented.
  • The opinion does not establish a stated rule of law beyond the disposition of this appeal.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in Bryant’s favor at the Sixth District unless further review or rehearing is successfully pursued. Because the court did not explain its reasoning, the opinion offers no factual or legal analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
