Background
Kimberly M. Callaway, proceeding without counsel, appealed from the Circuit Court for Bay County, where Judge Shonna Young Gay presided. The State of Florida was the appellee.
The First District’s abbreviated opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. Judges Lewis, Kelsey, and Treadwell concurred in the per curiam disposition.
The court provided no written reasoning or legal analysis. The opinion therefore establishes only that the judgment or order under review was affirmed, without revealing the basis for that result.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- The opinion does not identify the underlying claims, appellate issues, or substantive area of law.
Why It Matters
The decision ends the appeal at the panel stage while leaving no written analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. The disposition was designated not final until resolution of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
