Background

Darrel Harvey filed a petition for a writ of certiorari against the State of Florida in an original proceeding before the Florida First District Court of Appeal.

The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the ruling Harvey challenged, his arguments, or the State’s position. Counsel appeared for Harvey, while no appearance was entered for the State.

The Court’s Holding

The First District Court of Appeal denied Harvey’s petition for a writ of certiorari.

The per curiam opinion provides no reasoning and therefore announces no express legal rule beyond the denial of relief in this proceeding. Judges Roberts, Nordby, and Neff concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The court denied Harvey’s certiorari petition.
  • The decision was per curiam and contained no explanation of the court’s reasoning.
  • The opinion does not identify the underlying order, factual circumstances, or legal arguments.

Why It Matters

The decision ends Harvey’s request for certiorari relief in the First District, subject to disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Because the court supplied no reasoning or factual discussion, the opinion offers little guidance for other litigants beyond its case-specific denial of the petition.
