Background

Rayshad Deon Johnson appealed from the Circuit Court for Polk County, where Mark F. Carpanini was identified as the circuit judge. The State of Florida was the appellee.

The Sixth District’s opinion provides no facts, procedural history, issues presented, or description of the ruling challenged on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the lower court’s decision.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance consisting only of the word “AFFIRMED.” It supplied no reasoning or legal analysis explaining the disposition.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the ruling under review.
  • Judges Wozniak, Mize, and Brownlee concurred.
  • The opinion does not disclose the facts, appellate arguments, or basis for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Johnson’s appeal in the State’s favor but offers no written guidance on the governing law or the court’s reasoning. Any assessment of the underlying dispute would require review of the lower-court record and appellate briefs.
