Background
Jimmy Allen Cobb appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Bay County, where Circuit Judge Dustin Stephenson presided. The opinion does not describe the underlying charges, facts, procedural history, or issues Cobb raised on appeal.
Cobb was represented by the Public Defender’s Office, and the State was represented by the Attorney General’s Office. The First District resolved the appeal through a brief per curiam decision.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. Chief Judge Osterhaus and Judges Lewis and Ray concurred.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the appellate claims. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the challenged decision was affirmed; it does not identify the legal grounds supporting that result.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the Bay County Circuit Court’s decision.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, appellate issues, or rationale for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision ends Cobb’s appeal in the First District unless altered through an authorized post-decision motion or further review. Because the court supplied no analysis, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the legal issues involved.
