Background

Eric Robinson appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Alachua County, where Judge James Matthew Colaw presided.

The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the issues Robinson raised, or the circuit court’s ruling. Robinson represented himself on appeal, and the Florida Attorney General appeared for the State.

The Court’s Holding

The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the facts or legal issues. Judges Kelsey, Nordby, and Neff concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision was affirmed.
  • The appellate court issued a per curiam decision without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion does not identify the underlying claims, issues, or basis for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but offers no written legal analysis for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases.

The opinion was designated not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
