Background

Kevin Oneal Graham appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Lee County in lower-tribunal case number 2023-CF-000299. Circuit Judge Bruce Kyle presided below.

The appellate opinion does not describe the charge, the proceedings in the circuit court, Graham’s arguments on appeal, or the State’s response. The Sixth District therefore provided no factual or procedural details beyond identifying the appeal and the court from which it arose.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court supplied no reasoning, discussed no legal issues, and cited no authority. Judges Nardella, White, and Pratt concurred in the disposition.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the judgment against Graham.
  • The decision was a per curiam affirmance consisting only of the disposition.
  • The opinion establishes no stated rationale and identifies no specific issue resolved on appeal.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment in place but offers attorneys no written analysis of the facts, appellate arguments, or governing law.

Because the court did not explain its reasoning or cite authority, the opinion provides no articulated rule for application in other cases.
