Background
J.H.-G. appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Lee County in a proceeding concerning the children Z.Z.Z. and Z.C.Z. The Department of Children and Families and the Statewide Guardian Ad Litem Office were the appellees.
J.H.-G. appeared pro se on appeal. The opinion does not describe the circuit court’s ruling, the underlying facts, the issues raised, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges Wozniak, Mize, and Kamoutsas concurred.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the governing law. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the challenged decision was affirmed and does not identify the grounds for affirmance.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the Lee County circuit court’s decision.
- The decision was issued per curiam by a three-judge panel.
- The opinion contains no factual discussion, legal analysis, or explanation of the affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place. Because the appellate court did not explain its reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the legal or factual issues involved.
