Skinner was represented on appeal by Public Defender Daniel Eisinger and Assistant Public Defender Sue-Ellen Kenny. No appearance was required for the State of Florida. The opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the issues raised, or the specific circuit-court ruling under review.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed in a per curiam opinion. Judges Conner, Klingensmith, and Shepherd concurred.
The court did not identify the particular ruling being affirmed or provide reasoning for its disposition. The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Key Takeaways

- The opinion does not identify the specific ruling under review or the appellate issues presented.
- Judges Conner, Klingensmith, and Shepherd comprised the concurring panel.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s unidentified ruling undisturbed. Because the opinion contains only the disposition, it does not disclose the factual or legal basis for the affirmance.
