Background
Mike Cadet appealed from an order of the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County denying his motion for postconviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Circuit Judge Cymonie S. Rowe entered the challenged order in trial-court case number 502015CF010305AXXXMB.
Cadet represented himself on appeal. The State was represented by the Florida Attorney General’s Office.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the order denying Cadet’s Rule 3.850 motion.
The per curiam opinion provided no factual discussion, legal analysis, or explanation of the grounds raised. Judges Levine, Shaw, and Lott concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The denial of Cadet’s Rule 3.850 motion remains in place.
- The Fourth District affirmed without a written explanation of its reasoning.
- The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Cadet’s appeal in the State’s favor but supplies no precedential analysis concerning Rule 3.850 or the underlying claims. Because the court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion offers little guidance beyond the outcome of this particular postconviction proceeding.
