Background

Michael Frederick Griffin, representing himself, appealed a disposition of the Circuit Court for Escambia County. Circuit Judge Amy P. Brodersen presided below.

The First District’s opinion provides no facts, procedural history, description of the challenged disposition, issues presented, or arguments made by the parties.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court issued a per curiam decision consisting solely of “AFFIRMED.” It supplied no reasoning or legal analysis.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s disposition remains in place.
  • The appellate court did not identify the nature of the underlying case or the ruling under review.
  • The opinion states that it is 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 explanation, the opinion does not disclose the legal grounds for its decision or resolve any identified legal question in a written analysis.
