Background
Joshua Jermane Armstead, proceeding pro se, appealed in a case originating in the Circuit Court for Hamilton County, where Circuit Judge Melissa G. Olin presided. The State of Florida was the appellee.
The First District Court of Appeal’s two-page opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the ruling under review, the issues Armstead raised, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The First District affirmed the appeal in a per curiam decision. Judges Bilbrey, Kelsey, and M.K. Thomas concurred.
The court provided no analysis, reasoning, or explanation for its disposition. The opinion states only: “AFFIRMED.”
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed.
- The court issued a per curiam decision without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not identify the ruling under review or disclose the factual and legal grounds for the appeal.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Armstead’s appeal at the First District, subject to disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the underlying facts or legal issues.
