Background
Jessica Ann Shirer, now known as Jessica Mikell, appealed from a ruling of the Circuit Court for Lake County in lower-court case number 35-2018-DR-1611. Circuit Judge Brian Jerome Welke entered the ruling under review.
The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the particular order appealed, the arguments raised, or the circuit court’s reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling. The court issued a per curiam disposition consisting solely of “AFFIRMED.”
Because the court provided no written reasoning, the opinion states no rule of law and does not identify the grounds supporting affirmance. Judges Edwards, Harris, and Boatwright concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District left the circuit court’s ruling in place.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- The opinion supplies no factual or legal analysis from which to derive a broader holding.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves this appeal in the appellee’s favor by affirming the ruling below. Its practical significance beyond the parties is limited because the court did not provide reasoning or announce a legal principle.
