Background

Reggie L. Harris, proceeding without counsel, appealed a ruling from the Circuit Court for Orange County in criminal case number 2014-CF-000502-A-O. Circuit Judge Leticia Marques entered the ruling under review.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2), which governs certain appeals from summary postconviction proceedings. The opinion does not describe Harris’s claims, the circuit court’s reasoning, or the underlying facts.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling. The decision was issued per curiam, with Chief Judge Traver and Judges Stargel and Wozniak concurring.

The court provided no written analysis or explanation for the affirmance. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the ruling under review was upheld; it does not identify a legal rationale or resolve any described issue in a precedential discussion.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the Orange County circuit court’s ruling.
  • The appeal was handled under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
  • The per curiam opinion contains no factual discussion or legal reasoning.

Why It Matters

The decision ends Harris’s appeal in the Sixth District unless further review or rehearing is available and pursued. Because the court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion offers practitioners no guidance on the merits of Harris’s claims or the court’s reasoning.
