Background

Christopher Ryan Griffis appealed from a matter in the Circuit Court for Marion County. The appellate opinion identifies the lower-court case as 2025-CF-000623-A but does not describe the facts, issues raised, or nature of the ruling under review.

Griffis was represented on appeal by the Public Defender’s Office. The Florida Attorney General’s Office represented the State.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court in a per curiam decision. Judges Makar, Wallis, and Boatwright concurred.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the arguments presented. The opinion therefore establishes only that the ruling under review was left in place.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The decision was issued per curiam without an explanatory opinion.
  • The opinion does not identify the appellate issues, relevant facts, or nature of the ruling under review.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal at the panel level unless altered through an authorized and timely post-decision motion. Because the court supplied no analysis, the opinion offers no stated rationale for attorneys to apply in other cases.
