Background

Obdulio Irizarry, Jr. appealed from the Circuit Court for Orange County, where Circuit Judge John Marshall Kest presided. The opinion identifies the lower-tribunal proceeding as No. 2020-CF-011987-A-O.

The Sixth District Court of Appeal’s brief opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the ruling under review, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The court affirmed the circuit court without a written explanation. Judges Stargel, Smith, and Mize concurred in the per curiam decision.

Because the opinion contains only the disposition “AFFIRMED,” it announces no express legal reasoning or rule beyond the result in this appeal.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the matter under review.
  • The decision was issued per curiam, with Judges Stargel, Smith, and Mize concurring.
  • The opinion provides no facts, analysis, or explanation of the appellate issues.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Irizarry’s appeal in the State’s favor, but its lack of reasoning limits its usefulness to attorneys seeking guidance on substantive or procedural questions. The opinion should not be read to establish a rationale that the court did not state.
