Background
Elijah Jesse Von DeBaron appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Volusia County, where Judge Sandra C. Upchurch presided. The appellate opinion identifies the lower-tribunal case as 2019-11808-FMDL but does not describe the dispute, the ruling under review, or the arguments raised on appeal.
Von DeBaron represented himself on appeal. Vanessa Christine Burke made no appearance.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition.
The court provided no analysis or explanation for its ruling. Judges Lambert, Edwards, and Soud concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District left the circuit court’s ruling in place.
- The decision was issued as an unexplained per curiam affirmance.
- The opinion establishes no stated reasoning beyond the result.
Why It Matters
The decision ends the appeal in Burke’s favor unless altered through a timely and authorized motion under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331. Because the court did not provide reasoning or discuss the underlying issues, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the dispute.
