Background

John Michael Armstrong appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Bay County. Circuit Judge Shonna Young Gay presided over the matter below.

The appellate opinion does not identify the charges, describe the underlying facts, state the issues Armstrong raised, or discuss the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no reasoning or legal analysis. Judges Rowe, Ray, and Long concurred in the disposition.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
  • The decision was issued per curiam without a written explanation.
  • The opinion does not disclose the facts, appellate issues, or grounds for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment in place but supplies no written reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore limited to the disposition of Armstrong’s appeal.
