Background

Al Hamman appealed an order of the Circuit Court for Leon County in a case against the Florida Board of Governors. Circuit Judge Angela Cote Dempsey entered the order under review.

Hamman represented himself on appeal. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims, the circuit court’s reasoning, or the arguments raised by the parties.

The Court’s Holding

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

The appellate court provided no explanation for its ruling. Judges Roberts, Nordby, and Neff concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The decision was a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation of the court’s reasoning.
  • The opinion does not identify or resolve any specific legal issue in a written analysis.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but supplies no written reasoning for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases.
