Background
Jonte Deion Curry-Chapman appealed a ruling of the Circuit Court for Sarasota County, where Circuit Judge Donna M. Padar presided. The State of Florida was the appellee.
The appellate court’s disposition does not describe the underlying charges, facts, procedural history, issues raised on appeal, or reasoning of the circuit court. The opinion identifies counsel for both parties but provides no additional factual or legal background.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling in a per curiam decision.
The court supplied no analysis or explanation for its decision. Judges Northcutt, LaRose, and Black concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Second District left the circuit court’s ruling in place.
- The decision was issued per curiam, with all three identified panel judges concurring.
- Because the opinion contains no reasoning, it does not identify the appellate arguments or announce a legal rule.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Curry-Chapman’s appeal by affirmance but offers no written guidance on the substantive or procedural questions involved. Attorneys therefore cannot rely on the opinion itself for an explanation of the court’s reasoning.
