Background

Velton Devontay Corbett appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Orange County in lower-tribunal case number 2016-CF-005069-A-O. Circuit Judge Luis F. Calderon presided below.

The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying charges, procedural history, issues raised, or arguments presented by the parties.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without analysis or an explanation of its reasoning. Chief Judge Traver and Judges Mize and Kamoutsas concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s judgment remains in place.
  • The appellate court provided no written reasoning or discussion of the issues on appeal.
  • The opinion was not final until the rehearing period expired and any timely rehearing motion was resolved.

Why It Matters

Because the court affirmed without a written explanation, the decision resolves Corbett’s appeal but supplies no articulated rule or reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases.
