Background

James-Mikal Steven Alexander appealed from a judgment of the County Court for Duval County in lower-tribunal case number 2024-MM-011280-A. County Judge Audrey McKibbin Moran presided below.

The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s brief disposition does not describe the charge, the underlying facts, Alexander’s arguments on appeal, or the State’s response.

The Court’s Holding

The Fifth District affirmed the county court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no written reasoning and announced no express rule of law. Judges Makar, Edwards, and MacIver concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The county court’s judgment was affirmed.
  • The decision was issued per curiam without an explanatory opinion.
  • The disposition does not identify the appellate issues or explain the court’s reasoning.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the judgment against Alexander in place, subject to any timely and authorized motion under the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure.

Because the court supplied no reasoning, the decision offers no substantive guidance on the legal issues that may have been raised in the appeal.
