Background
Donnell Emanuelle Huey, proceeding pro se, appealed a ruling of the Circuit Court for Polk County in lower-tribunal case number 2016-CF-003150. Circuit Judge Gerald P. Hill II presided below.
The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The Sixth District’s opinion does not describe the challenged ruling, Huey’s arguments, or the State’s response.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling. Judges Stargel, Wozniak, and Mize concurred in the per curiam decision.
The court supplied no reasoning or legal analysis and did not identify the specific nature of the ruling under review. The opinion therefore establishes only that the lower court’s ruling was affirmed.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the Polk County circuit court’s ruling.
- The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
- The per curiam opinion provides no facts, reasoning, or description of the ruling being reviewed.
Why It Matters
The decision ends this stage of appellate review by leaving the circuit court’s ruling in place. Because the opinion contains no explanation, it offers no substantive analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
