Background

Augusta Williams appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Marion County in lower-tribunal case number 2023-CF-000219-A. Circuit Judge Timothy T. McCourt presided below.

The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the charge, the underlying facts, the arguments raised on appeal, or the circuit court’s reasoning.

The Court’s Holding

The Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no written analysis or explanation for the affirmance. Chief Judge Jay and Judges Soud and Boatwright concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s judgment was affirmed.
  • The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written opinion.
  • The decision does not identify the issues presented or explain the court’s reasoning.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the lower court’s judgment intact but supplies no substantive analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
