Background
Richard Curry, II, proceeding without counsel, appealed from the Circuit Court for Leon County, where Judge Anthony B. Miller presided. Tara Thompson was the appellee and made no appearance in the appeal.
The First District Court of Appeal’s brief opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the relief Curry sought, or the procedural event that prompted dismissal.
The Court’s Holding
The First District dismissed the appeal. Lewis, Nordby, and Neff, JJ., concurred in the per curiam disposition.
The court provided no reasoning and did not state whether the dismissal rested on jurisdiction, mootness, a procedural default, or another ground. The opinion therefore establishes only that this appeal was dismissed.
Key Takeaways
- The First District dismissed Curry’s appeal.
- The opinion gives no factual, procedural, or legal basis for the dismissal.
- The disposition was not final until resolution of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Why It Matters
The decision ends this appeal unless altered through an authorized post-decision procedure. Because the court supplied no analysis, the opinion offers no stated rule or reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases.
