Background

Dwayne Ybarra Hernandez appealed from a ruling of the Circuit Court for Sumter County in a criminal case. Circuit Judge Mary Pavloff Hatcher presided below.

The appellate opinion does not identify the challenged ruling, describe the underlying charges or facts, or summarize the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court provided no reasoning, legal analysis, or discussion of the issues presented. Judges Wallis, Kilbane, and MacIver concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District affirmed the ruling under review.
  • The decision was issued per curiam without a written explanation.
  • The opinion does not disclose the factual background, appellate issues, or grounds for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but supplies no written analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore principally to the parties and the disposition of this appeal.
