Background

Kerry Johnson appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Escambia County, where Judge Jennifer J. Frydrychowicz presided.

The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying facts, claims, legal issues, or circuit court ruling.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges Lewis, Ray, and Long concurred.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the governing law. The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
  • The per curiam opinion contains no factual summary or legal analysis.
  • The decision remains subject to disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Rules 9.330 or 9.331.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the circuit court’s decision undisturbed, subject to the opinion’s stated finality condition. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion does not identify a legal rule or explain the basis for affirmance.
