Background

Levertis Vickers appealed from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Robin Fernandez Fuson presided. Vickers represented himself, and the appellee was the State of Florida.

The appeal proceeded pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The opinion provides no additional facts, identifies no claims raised by Vickers, and does not describe the circuit court’s reasoning.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.

The per curiam opinion offered no explanation for the affirmance and announced no rule of law. Judges Khouzam, Black, and Smith concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
  • The court issued a per curiam disposition without analysis.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, Vickers’s arguments, or the basis for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this appeal in the State’s favor but provides no written reasoning for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore limited to the disposition of Vickers’s appeal.
