Background
Malcolm Carpenter appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Seminole County in a case involving Erik Princehorn, individually and on behalf of K.P., and K.P., children. Circuit Judge John L. Woodard, III, presided below.
The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the nature of the challenged ruling, or Carpenter’s arguments on appeal. The appellee made no appearance in the appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fifth 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 Makar, Lambert, and Harris concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
- The decision was issued per curiam without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not identify the facts, appellate issues, or legal grounds for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but provides no written analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore primarily to the parties and the disposition of this appeal.
