Background

Alexander George Deloach appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Escambia County. Circuit Judge John F. Simon, Jr. presided over the case below.

The First District’s opinion does not identify the charges, describe the underlying facts, state the issues raised on appeal, or discuss the trial court’s reasoning.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment. The decision was issued per curiam, with Judges Roberts, Bilbrey, and Nordby concurring.

The court provided no written analysis or explanation for its decision. The opinion states only “AFFIRMED” and therefore establishes no articulated rule of law beyond leaving the judgment below intact.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
  • The panel issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion does not disclose the facts, appellate arguments, or legal issues presented.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the State’s favor unless altered through an authorized post-decision motion or further review. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the legal issues involved.
