Background
Angellica Elaine Grant appealed in a proceeding identified by the Fifth District Court of Appeal as a Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 appeal. The appeal arose from Seminole County Circuit Court case number 2020-CF-000791-A, with Circuit Judge Jessica Recksiedler identified below.
The opinion does not describe Grant’s conviction, the claims presented under Rule 3.850, the circuit court’s ruling, or the arguments raised on appeal. Grant was represented by Laura L. Cepero of Ponall Law; the State made no appearance.
The Court’s Holding
The Fifth District affirmed. Its disposition consists solely of “AFFIRMED” and provides no reasoning or discussion of the issues.
The decision was issued per curiam, with Judges Wallis, Eisnaugle, and Soud concurring. Because the opinion does not explain the basis for affirmance, it establishes no stated rationale beyond leaving the appealed ruling undisturbed.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed in Grant’s Rule 3.850 appeal.
- The court issued a per curiam decision without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not identify the underlying claims or describe the circuit court ruling under review.
Why It Matters
The decision ends the appeal at the Fifth District unless altered through a timely and authorized motion or further review. For practitioners, its practical significance is limited because the court supplied no reasoning that could guide other Rule 3.850 cases.
