Background

Jessie D. Queen, proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for Madison County, where Circuit Judge Mark E. Feagle presided. The appellees were the State of Florida and others.

The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying claims, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without an explanatory opinion. Judges Lewis, Bilbrey, and Winokur concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision remains in effect.
  • The appellate court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues presented.
  • The decision was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Why It Matters

Because the court affirmed without a written explanation, the decision resolves Queen’s appeal but supplies no articulated legal rule or analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
