Background
Nicholas Albrecht appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for Columbia County, where Circuit Judge Garrett Hill presided. Kelly Davis was the appellee.
Albrecht represented himself on appeal. The opinion states that Davis made no appearance. It does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s decision, the arguments raised on appeal, or the applicable law.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges Lewis, Bilbrey, and Winokur concurred.
The court provided no reasoning or legal analysis and did not identify the specific basis for affirmance. The opinion also states that it is not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the unidentified circuit-court decision.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- The opinion supplies no facts about the underlying dispute or the issues presented on appeal.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves this appeal in Davis’s favor at the First District, subject to any timely and authorized post-decision motion. Because the court supplied no factual discussion or legal analysis, the opinion offers no articulated rule or rationale for attorneys to apply in other cases.
