Background

Norman P. Driggers, Jr. appealed from the Circuit Court for Polk County, where Circuit Judge Jalal A. Harb presided. The appeal was docketed in the Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal as case number 6D2025-0491.

The opinion does not identify the underlying offense, the issues raised on appeal, or the specific judgment or order under review.

The Court’s Holding

The Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no reasoning or analysis. Judges Smith, Brownlee, and Gannam concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s disposition was affirmed.
  • The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, appellate arguments, or legal grounds for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this stage of the appeal in the State’s favor, but its abbreviated form supplies no substantive analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.

Because the opinion does not describe the ruling under review, it should not be characterized more specifically as affirming a conviction, sentence, or particular order.
