Background

Blaine Allen Hertz appealed from the Circuit Court for Santa Rosa County, where Circuit Judge Clifton A. Drake presided.

The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the offenses or issues involved, the arguments raised on appeal, or the specific circuit-court ruling under review.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed. Judges Kelsey, Long, and Treadwell concurred in the per curiam decision.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues. The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the matter on appeal.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion supplies no facts or legal analysis from which to identify the grounds for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Hertz’s appeal at the First District without a written explanation of the governing law or its application. Because the opinion contains no factual or legal analysis, its text offers no substantive guidance beyond the affirmance itself.
