Background

Rodney Roseboro appealed from a proceeding in the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Kimberly K. Fernandez presided.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2), which governs certain appeals from summary postconviction orders. The appellate court’s brief opinion does not describe Roseboro’s claims, the circuit court’s reasoning, or the underlying facts.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s disposition.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning. Judges Morris, Black, and Guard concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Second District left the circuit court’s ruling in place.
  • The appeal was handled under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
  • The opinion provides no factual discussion or legal analysis and identifies no specific ground for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this appellate proceeding with the challenged circuit court disposition intact. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the merits of Roseboro’s claims or the law governing them.
