Background

Davidson Jamal David appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Brevard County in lower-court case number 05-2023-CF-51979-A. Circuit Judge Stephen George Henderson entered the judgment under review.

The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s decision does not describe the charges, the proceedings below, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision. Judges Makar, Boatwright, and MacIver concurred.

The court provided no written reasoning and announced no express rule of law. The decision was designated not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District affirmed the judgment under review.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion provides no factual or legal analysis from which to identify the appellate issues or a broader holding.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment intact but offers no written guidance for litigants or lower courts. Its significance is therefore confined principally to the disposition of David’s appeal.
