Background

Avron R. Chandler appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Leon County, where Circuit Judge Jonathan Sjostrom presided.

The First District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, the challenged ruling, the arguments raised on appeal, or the procedural history beyond identifying the lower court and judge.

The Court’s Holding

The First District affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues. Chief Judge Osterhaus and Judges Lewis and Treadwell concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District left the circuit court’s decision in place.
  • The disposition was a per curiam affirmance without an explanatory opinion.
  • The opinion establishes no stated rationale that can be applied to other cases.

Why It Matters

The ruling ends this stage of Chandler’s appeal with the challenged circuit-court decision affirmed. Because the court did not explain its reasoning, the opinion offers no guidance about the facts, legal issues, or analysis supporting the result.

The decision was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
