Background
Rodney Lorenza Addison, also known as Rodney L. Addison, appealed pro se from the Circuit Court for Marion County. The Fifth District identified the proceeding as a “3.800 Appeal” and listed the lower-tribunal case number as 2006-906-CFAWS.
The opinion identifies A. Kathleen McNeilly as the judge in the appeal-from line. The State of Florida made no appearance in the appellate proceeding. The brief opinion does not describe the challenged ruling, Addison’s arguments, or the relief he sought.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed. Judges Makar, Soud, and Kilbane concurred in the per curiam disposition.
The court provided no analysis or explanation for its decision. The opinion therefore establishes only that the ruling presented in the Rule 3.800 appeal was affirmed; it does not announce a stated rule of law or disclose the basis for the affirmance.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed in an appeal identified as arising under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800.
- The disposition was per curiam, with Judges Makar, Soud, and Kilbane concurring.
- Because the opinion contains no factual or legal analysis, it does not reveal the issue raised or the court’s reasoning.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the challenged circuit-court ruling undisturbed but offers no written guidance for future Rule 3.800 proceedings. Its significance is therefore limited to the disposition of Addison’s appeal.
