Background
Justin Matthew Arias appealed from a judgment of the County Court for Miami-Dade County, where Judge Ritamaria Gonzalez Cuervo presided. The appeal arose under lower-tribunal case number B23-21685.
The Third District’s opinion does not identify the underlying charge, the arguments raised on appeal, or the facts of the case. Arias was represented by the Miami-Dade Public Defender’s Office, and the State was represented by the Florida Attorney General’s Office.
The Court’s Holding
The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the county court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.
The court provided no reasoning, discussed no legal issue, and cited no authority. The opinion therefore establishes only that the judgment under review was left intact.
Key Takeaways
- The Third District affirmed the Miami-Dade County Court’s judgment.
- The three-judge panel issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, appellate arguments, or basis for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision ends Arias’s appeal at the Third District unless further review or rehearing is available and successfully pursued. Because the court gave no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the legal issues that may have been presented.
