Background
David Antonio Baker appealed from the Circuit Court for Volusia County, where Circuit Judge A. Christian Miller presided. The Fifth District’s opinion does not identify the specific ruling under review or describe the underlying facts, charges, arguments, or procedural history.
Baker was represented on appeal by the Public Defender’s Office. The Florida Attorney General’s Office represented the State.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s unspecified ruling in a per curiam opinion.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the parties’ arguments. Judges Makar, Lambert, and Eisnaugle concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the ruling under review.
- The per curiam opinion contains no factual or legal analysis.
- The opinion does not identify the particular circuit-court ruling that was affirmed.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Baker’s appeal at the Fifth District without a written explanation of the court’s reasoning. Because the opinion states only “AFFIRMED,” it offers no substantive guidance about the legal issues presented.
