Background

Freddie Lee Chisom appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County. Circuit Judge Mark D. Kiser presided over the proceedings below.

The Second District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not identify the offense, describe the underlying facts, specify the issues raised on appeal, or state the relief Chisom requested. Chisom was represented by the Public Defender’s Office and also appeared pro se; the State was represented by the Attorney General’s Office.

The Court’s Holding

The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the appellate claims. Judges LaROSE, KHOUZAM, and BLACK concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s judgment remains in effect.
  • The appellate court affirmed without a written explanation of its reasoning.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, legal issues, or grounds for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Chisom’s appeal in the State’s favor but supplies no substantive analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore primarily case-specific.
