Background

Jon Hay appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Lee County, where Judge Bruce Kyle presided. The circuit-court case number was 2016-CF-018973.

The appellate court’s disposition does not identify Hay’s conviction, sentence, appellate arguments, or the State’s responses. The opinion provides no factual or procedural details beyond the identity of the lower court and the parties.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. Judges Nardella, Brownlee, and Pratt concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the judgment against Hay.
  • The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues raised on appeal.
  • The opinion was not final until the rehearing period expired and any timely rehearing motion was resolved.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment in place but supplies no written legal analysis. Because the court did not describe the claims, facts, or rationale, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the underlying legal issues.
