Background

I.X.B., identified in the opinion as a child, appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Duval County. Circuit Judge Michael Andrew Kalil presided below.

The Fifth District’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the nature of the circuit court’s ruling, or the arguments raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court issued a per curiam disposition consisting only of the word “AFFIRMED.” It provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues presented.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District left the circuit court’s decision in place.
  • The opinion does not identify the specific ruling under review.
  • Judges Eisnaugle, Boatwright, and Kilbane concurred in the per curiam affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves this appeal in the State’s favor, but its lack of factual or legal analysis limits its usefulness as guidance in other cases. The opinion establishes only that the circuit court’s decision was affirmed.
