Background

Darrel D. Harvey appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Leon County, where Judge Stephen Everett presided.

The First District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, the challenged ruling, Harvey’s arguments, or the procedural history beyond identifying the matter as an appeal from the circuit court.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court provided no reasoning or legal analysis. Judges Lewis, Kelsey, and Treadwell concurred in the result.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s judgment or order remains in effect.
  • The appellate court affirmed without a written explanation of its reasoning.
  • The disposition was not final until resolution of any timely authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Harvey’s appeal in the State’s favor but supplies no factual or legal analysis for use in other cases. Because it is a per curiam affirmance without an explanatory opinion, the decision does not reveal which issues Harvey raised or why the panel rejected them.
