Background
Allexdria Gammons, proceeding without counsel, appealed a matter involving the Tallahassee Housing Authority from the Circuit Court for Leon County. The appellate opinion identifies Nina Ashenafi-Richardson and Monique Renee Richardson as the circuit judges associated with the appeal.
The Tallahassee Housing Authority made no appearance in the appellate proceeding. The opinion provides no information about the underlying dispute, the order being appealed, or the procedural basis for dismissal.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal in a per curiam decision. Judges Lewis, Ray, and Neff concurred.
The court gave no reasons for the dismissal and did not address the merits of Gammons’s claims. The decision was designated nonfinal until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Key Takeaways
- The First District dismissed Gammons’s appeal.
- The court did not explain the procedural or substantive basis for dismissal.
- Because the court did not reach the merits, the opinion establishes no stated rule regarding the underlying dispute.
Why It Matters
The decision ends the appeal, subject to any timely and authorized post-decision motion, but offers no precedential analysis or guidance. Practitioners should not infer a reason for dismissal from the opinion’s one-word disposition.
