Background
Damien Douglas Freeman appealed from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, where Judge Michelle Sisco presided.
The appeal proceeded pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The supplied opinion does not describe Freeman’s underlying claims, the circuit court’s reasoning, or the arguments presented on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
The court issued a per curiam disposition consisting only of “Affirmed.” It provided no explanation of its reasoning and announced no express rule of law.
Key Takeaways
- The Second District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
- The appellate court did not explain the factual or legal basis for the affirmance.
- Chief Judge Lucas and Judges Silberman and Sleet concurred.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place, but its one-word disposition offers no substantive guidance about Freeman’s claims or the court’s legal analysis.
Attorneys should not infer a broader holding from the affirmance because the opinion contains no discussion of the facts, issues, or governing law.
