Background
Ashley Authement appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Escambia County in a case against David Miles. Circuit Judge Jennie Kinsey entered the decision under review.
The First District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the parties’ underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the arguments on appeal, or the applicable legal issues.
The Court’s Holding
The First District affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges Rowe, Ray, and Winokur concurred.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the merits. The disposition was subject to any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Key Takeaways
- The circuit court’s decision was affirmed.
- The appellate court issued no written analysis explaining the affirmance.
- The opinion identifies Judges Rowe, Ray, and Winokur as the participating panel.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but supplies no written reasoning for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases. Because the opinion does not disclose the underlying facts or legal issues, no broader substantive holding can be drawn from it.
