Background

Rodney Bryant, Sr., proceeding pro se, appealed from proceedings in the Circuit Court for Polk County under lower-tribunal case numbers 2022-CF-000911 and 2022-CF-003359. Circuit Judge Michelle O. Pincket presided below.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The State was represented by the Attorney General’s Office.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s disposition.

The per curiam opinion provided no factual discussion, legal analysis, or explanation for the affirmance. Judges Stargel, Wozniak, and Smith concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The decision was issued per curiam and contained no explanation of the court’s reasoning.
  • The opinion identified no specific factual or legal issue resolved on appeal.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s disposition in place but supplies no written reasoning for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases.

Because the opinion is a one-word affirmance without factual or legal analysis, its significance is principally to the parties and the underlying proceedings.
