Background
Garry Rollins, proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for Alachua County, where Circuit Judge James M. Colaw presided. The appellee was the State of Florida.
The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, the challenged ruling, the parties’ arguments, or the procedural history beyond identifying the matter as an appeal from the circuit court.
The Court’s Holding
The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues. Judges Lewis, Kelsey, and Treadwell concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The circuit court’s decision was affirmed.
- The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not identify the substantive issues presented or establish a stated rule of law.
Why It Matters
The ruling leaves the circuit court’s decision intact, but its one-word disposition offers no guidance about the court’s reasoning or the merits of any particular legal argument.
The opinion was designated not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
