Flores v. State — First DCA affirmed the judgment without a written opinion

Background

Janell Ann Flores appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Escambia County, where Judge Linda L. Nobles presided.

The First District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, the procedural history beyond the appeal, the issues Flores raised, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning. Judges Ray, Kelsey, and Winokur concurred.

Key Takeaways

• The circuit court’s judgment remains in place.
• The appellate court provided no written analysis of the issues presented.
• The decision was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Why It Matters

Because the court affirmed without a written opinion, the decision resolves Flores’s appeal but supplies no reasoning for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases.
