Background

Christina Adams appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Marion County in lower-court case number 2022-CF-003647-A. Circuit Judge Timothy Thomas McCourt entered the decision under review.

The Fifth District’s opinion does not identify the criminal charges, the arguments Adams raised, or the factual and procedural details underlying the appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation of its reasoning. Judges Edwards, Eisnaugle, and Harris concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District left the circuit court’s judgment in place.
  • The opinion provides no reasoning and does not identify the appellate issues.
  • The decision was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Adams’s appeal in the State’s favor but supplies no written analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Because the court did not explain its reasoning, the opinion reveals only that the judgment was affirmed.
