Background
Givanni Torrell Parks appealed from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, where Judge Cristina Miranda presided. The Third District identified the matter as an appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
Parks represented himself. The State was represented by Attorney General James Uthmeier and Assistant Attorney General Liz Marie Feliz. The opinion does not describe the underlying circuit court ruling, the arguments raised on appeal, or the relevant facts.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling. Judges Logue, Gooden, and Rebull issued the decision per curiam.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues. The opinion states only “Affirmed” and notes that it is not final until disposition of any timely motion for rehearing.
Key Takeaways
- The Third District affirmed the ruling under review.
- The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
- The per curiam opinion did not identify the underlying ruling or explain the basis for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but offers no written analysis for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases. Because the opinion does not disclose the underlying ruling or issues presented, its significance is limited to the disposition of Parks’s appeal.
