Background
Bradley Scott Griener appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for Escambia County, where Circuit Judge John F. Simon, Jr., presided. The State of Florida was the appellee.
The First District’s opinion does not identify the underlying charges, describe the circuit court’s ruling, summarize the parties’ arguments, or provide the facts of the case.
The Court’s Holding
The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges Rowe, Nordby, and Long concurred.
The court supplied no reasoning or discussion of the issues presented. The opinion states only “AFFIRMED” and therefore establishes no articulated legal rationale beyond leaving the appealed decision intact.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the Escambia County Circuit Court’s decision.
- The ruling was unanimous and issued per curiam.
- The opinion contains no facts, issue analysis, or explanation for the affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Griener’s appeal in the State’s favor and leaves the circuit court’s ruling undisturbed. Because the court provided no written reasoning, the opinion offers practitioners no articulated rule or analysis to apply in other cases.
