Background
McKenzy Nazien appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Volusia County in lower-tribunal case number 2023-303440-CFDB. Circuit Judge Kathleen McNeilly presided below.
The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the nature of the challenged ruling, the issues Nazien raised, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s decision. The court issued a per curiam affirmance consisting only of the word “AFFIRMED.”
Because the opinion provides no reasoning, it establishes only the disposition of this appeal and does not explain the legal grounds for the court’s ruling. Chief Judge Jay and Judges Soud and MacIver concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the decision under review.
- The court did not identify or analyze the appellate issues.
- The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Nazien’s appeal in the State’s favor but offers no written legal analysis for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases. Its practical significance is therefore primarily case-specific.
