Background
La Venston Lamont Horne filed a habeas petition in the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County. The circuit court, Judge Miguel M. de la O presiding, denied the petition.
Horne, representing himself, appealed under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The State opposed the appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s denial of Horne’s habeas petition.
The per curiam opinion supplied no further substantive analysis. It cited twelve prior Third District decisions involving Horne, issued between 2009 and 2022.
Key Takeaways
- The Third District upheld the denial of Horne’s habeas petition.
- The court resolved the appeal in a brief per curiam opinion.
- The opinion cited twelve earlier appellate decisions involving Horne but did not separately explain the basis for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the trial court’s denial of habeas relief intact. Because the opinion contains no substantive analysis beyond citations to Horne’s prior cases, it provides limited guidance outside the procedural history of his litigation.
