Background
Fred Douglas Shackleford appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for Lee County in lower-tribunal case number 19-CF-000267. Circuit Judge Nicholas Thompson entered the decision under review.
The Sixth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying criminal charge, the arguments raised on appeal, or the circuit court’s reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition. Chief Judge Traver and Judges Mize and Gannam concurred.
Because the court provided no written analysis, the opinion does not announce a legal rule or explain the grounds for affirmance.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the decision of the Lee County Circuit Court.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without an explanatory opinion.
- The opinion supplies no facts, legal analysis, or basis for the appellate court’s decision.
Why It Matters
The disposition leaves the circuit court’s decision in place but offers no written guidance on the legal issues presented. Attorneys therefore cannot rely on this opinion for substantive reasoning beyond the fact of affirmance.
