Background
Joseph Robert Bourke, Jr. appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Flagler County in lower-tribunal case number 2025-CF-000448. Circuit Judge Dawn D. Nichols entered the judgment under review.
The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying charge, the facts of the case, the arguments raised on appeal, or the circuit court’s reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision. The opinion provides no analysis or explanation for the affirmance.
Judges Makar, Eisnaugle, and Boatwright concurred. The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the judgment under review.
- The per curiam opinion contains no factual discussion or legal analysis.
- The decision is not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Rules 9.330 or 9.331.
Why It Matters
The opinion resolves the appeal by affirmance but supplies no written reasoning that attorneys can apply to other cases. Its significance is therefore limited to the disposition reflected in the decision.
