Background

Anthony Curtis Brewer appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Columbia County, where Judge Melissa G. Olin presided.

The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, the trial court’s ruling, Brewer’s appellate arguments, or the State’s response.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues. Chief Judge Osterhaus and Judges Rowe and Kelsey concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision was affirmed.
  • The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion does not identify the legal claims presented or establish a stated rule of law.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the circuit court’s disposition intact but offers no explanation that attorneys can apply to other cases. The decision was designated not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
