Background
Richard Colbert, proceeding without counsel, appealed from the Circuit Court for Orange County, where Circuit Judge A. James Craner presided. The appeal arose from lower-tribunal case numbers 2025-CA-008849 and 2019-CF-007433.
The Sixth District Court of Appeal considered the matter under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The opinion does not describe Colbert’s claims, the circuit court’s reasoning, or the underlying facts.
The Court’s Holding
The Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition.
The court provided no written analysis or explanation for the affirmance. Judges Nardella, White, and Smith concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
- The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
- Because the court issued only an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion announces no express legal reasoning or new rule.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but offers attorneys no substantive analysis of the claims or governing law. Its practical significance is therefore limited to the disposition of Colbert’s case.
