Background
Jason Edwin Bain appealed his case from the Circuit Court for Polk County (Judge Jalal A. Harb), where he had been convicted in criminal case No. 2005-CF-009245. Bain appealed pro se to the Sixth District Court of Appeal pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
The Court’s Holding
The Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the lower court’s judgment without issuing a written opinion explaining its reasoning. The court issued only a per curiam affirmance, joining the lower tribunal’s decision in full.
Key Takeaways
- The appellate court affirmed the trial court’s decision without issuing a detailed written opinion.
- The case is not final until the time to file a motion for rehearing expires and any timely-filed motion is disposed of.
Why It Matters
This affirming order concludes Bain’s direct appeal to the Sixth District, allowing the lower court judgment to stand. Bain may pursue further appellate relief through motion for rehearing or petition for review.
