Background

Patricia Lynn Momaney appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Lee County, where Judge Robert Branning presided. The appellate opinion identifies the lower-tribunal matter as case number 23-CF-018191.

The Sixth District Court of Appeal’s brief opinion does not describe the charge, the facts of the case, the arguments raised on appeal, or the circuit court’s reasoning.

The Court’s Holding

The Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment. Judges Stargel, White, and Kamoutsas concurred in the per curiam disposition.

The court issued no written analysis or explanation for its decision. The opinion therefore establishes only that the judgment under review was affirmed.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
  • The decision was issued per curiam by a panel consisting of Judges Stargel, White, and Kamoutsas.
  • The opinion provides no factual discussion, legal analysis, or explanation of the issues presented.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the circuit court’s judgment in place. Because the appellate court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the legal questions that may have been raised in the appeal.
