Background
Quincy Williams, proceeding pro se, appealed an order from the Circuit Court for Leon County in an action against Richard Comerford, Secretary of the Florida Department of Corrections, and other appellees. Circuit Judge John C. Cooper entered the order under review.
The First District’s opinion does not describe Williams’s claims, the circuit court’s ruling, or the arguments raised on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition.
The court provided no written reasoning or discussion of the facts or legal issues. Chief Judge Osterhaus and Judges Lewis and Winokur concurred.
Key Takeaways
