Background
Joseph Edward Davis appealed from the County Court for Pinellas County, where Judge Cathy A. McKyton presided.
The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the charge, the judgment being reviewed, or Davis’s appellate arguments. It states that the State conceded error but does not identify the asserted error.
The Court’s Holding
The Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the county court’s judgment in a per curiam opinion. Judges Kelly, Black, and Labrit concurred.
The court declined to accept the State’s concession of error. It cited Williams v. Florida, Ladson v. State, Gregory v. State, and Perry v. State, but provided no further explanation of its disposition.
Key Takeaways
- The county court’s judgment was affirmed.
- The appellate court declined the State’s concession of error.
- The opinion does not disclose the case’s underlying facts, the issue on appeal, or the court’s reasoning beyond its cited authorities.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the county court’s judgment in place despite the State’s concession of error. Because the opinion is terse and does not identify the asserted error or explain its analysis, its significance must be understood primarily through its disposition and cited authorities.
