Background
Craig Dale Golden appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Okaloosa County, where Circuit Judge Lacey Powell-Clark presided.
The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the procedural history in the circuit court, the issues Golden raised, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition.
The court provided no written reasoning and announced no express rule of law. The decision was designated as not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- The opinion does not identify the claims on appeal or disclose the underlying facts.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling intact but offers no written analysis for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore primarily to the parties and the disposition of this particular appeal.
