Background

Johnathan Antoine appealed from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, where Judge Miguel Manuel de la O presided over lower-tribunal case number F23-2159.

The Third District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, facts, arguments, or rulings challenged on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Third District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues presented. The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Key Takeaways

  • The appellate court affirmed the judgment below.
  • The decision was issued per curiam by a three-judge panel consisting of Judges Fernandez, Lindsey, and Bokor.
  • The opinion offers no explanation of the court’s reasoning or the substantive issues on appeal.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the circuit court’s judgment intact. Because the appellate court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion supplies no substantive analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
