Background

Kashaun Dondre Cross appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Duval County in lower-court case number 16-2024-CF-008599-A. Circuit Judge R. Anthony Salem entered the decision under review.

The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, procedural history, arguments on appeal, or facts of the case.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court provided no written reasoning, addressed no specific appellate issue, and announced no rule of law. Chief Judge Jay and Judges Soud and Boatwright concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s judgment remains in place.
  • The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without an explanatory opinion.
  • The decision does not disclose the facts, claims, or legal grounds presented on appeal.

Why It Matters

The ruling resolves Cross’s appeal at the Fifth District by affirming the judgment below. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the legal issues that may have been raised.
