Background
Quentin Patterson appealed from a decision of the County Court for Leon County, where Judge Stefanie Newlin presided. The appellees were Andrew Johnson and Johnson Enterprises & Consulting, LLC.
The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the county court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments. Patterson and Johnson appeared pro se.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the county court’s decision.
The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. The opinion therefore establishes the result of this appeal but states no reasoning or rule of law supporting that result.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the Leon County Court’s decision.
- The three-judge panel issued the decision per curiam.
- Because the opinion contains no reasoning, it does not reveal which arguments or legal issues controlled the appeal.
Why It Matters
The ruling leaves the county court’s decision intact. Its practical significance is limited to that disposition because the appellate court did not provide facts, analysis, or an articulated legal holding beyond affirmance.
