Johnson v. State of Florida — Second District affirmed without a written explanation

Background

Denise Lee Johnson, proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for Manatee County, where Judge Teresa K. Dees presided.

The appeal proceeded pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 141(b)(2). The opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the ruling challenged on appeal, or the arguments presented by Johnson.

The Court’s Holding

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

The per curiam opinion provided no analysis or explanation for the affirmance. Judges LaRose, Labrit, and Guard concurred.

Key Takeaways

• The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
• The court issued a per curiam disposition without written reasoning.
• The opinion does not identify the underlying claims, appellate issues, or basis for affirmance.

Why It Matters

Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion establishes the result of Johnson’s appeal but does not explain how the court evaluated any legal or factual issue.
