Background
Albert Black, Jr., proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for Lee County, where Judge Robert Branning presided. The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
The Sixth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, Black’s arguments, the State’s response, or the specific circuit court ruling under review.
The Court’s Holding
The Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling. Judges Stargel, White, and Gannam concurred in the per curiam decision.
The court provided no written reasoning or discussion of the issues, so the opinion establishes only that the ruling under review was affirmed.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
- The per curiam opinion contains no factual account or legal analysis.
- The opinion is not final until the rehearing period expires and any timely rehearing motion is resolved.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling undisturbed, but its lack of reasoning limits what can be drawn from it about the governing law or the court’s treatment of any particular argument.
