Background
Deangelo Lamont Carter appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Charlotte County in lower-tribunal case number 2023-CF-000366. Circuit Judge Shannon H. McFee entered the ruling under review.
The Sixth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, Carter’s arguments on appeal, the State’s response, or the circuit court’s reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.
The court supplied no reasoning, legal analysis, or citation to authority. Chief Judge Traver and Judges Mize and Pratt concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The circuit court’s judgment remains in place.
- The appellate court resolved the case through a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion establishes no express rule of law and does not identify the issues Carter raised on appeal.
Why It Matters
The decision ends this stage of Carter’s appeal by leaving the lower court’s judgment undisturbed. Because the opinion contains no analysis, it offers practitioners no explanation of the panel’s reasoning or guidance on the substantive legal issues involved.
