Background
Alexander George Deloach appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Escambia County, where Judge John F. Simon, Jr. presided. The opinion does not identify the underlying charges, the ruling challenged, or the arguments raised on appeal.
Deloach was represented on appeal by the Public Defender’s Office. The State of Florida appeared through the Attorney General’s Office.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges Roberts, Bilbrey, and Nordby concurred.
The court provided no reasoning, discussed no facts or legal issues, and announced no rule of law. The opinion states only: “AFFIRMED.”
Key Takeaways
- The First District left the circuit court’s decision in place.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, appellate arguments, or legal grounds for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Deloach’s appeal in the State’s favor but offers no written analysis for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases. Any assessment of the disputed issues or the practical scope of the ruling would require review of the appellate briefs and circuit-court record.
