Background
David Brinson appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Putnam County in lower-tribunal case number 54-2023-CF-1143-A. Circuit Judge Alicia R. Washington presided below.
The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not identify Brinson’s conviction, sentence, appellate arguments, or the facts underlying the case.
The Court’s Holding
The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.
The court provided no reasoning and announced no substantive legal holding beyond affirmance. Chief Judge Jay and Judges Makar and MacIver concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The circuit court’s judgment remains in place.
- The appellate court affirmed without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not disclose the issues raised or establish a stated rule of law.
Why It Matters
The decision ends Brinson’s appeal in the Fifth District unless further relief is available through a timely and authorized motion or other review. Because the court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion offers no guidance on the merits of Brinson’s arguments or on broader questions of Florida law.
