Background

Andrew Lynn Marks appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Volusia County, where Judge Elizabeth Ann Blackburn presided. The appellate opinion identifies the lower-court case as 2024-101404-CFDB.

The opinion provides no facts, procedural details, or description of the issues Marks raised on appeal. Marks was represented by the Public Defender’s Office; the State made no appearance.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. Judges Wallis, Lambert, and Boatwright concurred in the per curiam disposition.

The court supplied no reasoning or analysis and did not identify the particular judgment, sentence, or order being affirmed. The opinion therefore establishes only that the challenged circuit-court decision remained in place.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts or appellate issues.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the challenged decision in effect but offers no written guidance on the legal questions presented. Any broader significance cannot be determined from the opinion itself because the court included no factual discussion or legal analysis.
