Background
J.R.C., identified in the caption as the father of three minor children, appealed from the Circuit Court for Santa Rosa County. Circuit Judge Steven C. Warrick entered the ruling under review.
The Department of Children and Families was the appellee. The First District’s opinion does not describe the facts, the nature of the challenged ruling, the arguments raised on appeal, or the trial court’s reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling. The decision was issued per curiam, with Judges Lewis, Ray, and M.K. Thomas concurring.
The court provided no written analysis or explanation for the affirmance. 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 ruling appealed from the Santa Rosa County Circuit Court.
- The court did not identify the specific ruling under review or disclose the factual and legal grounds for its decision.
- Judges Lewis, Ray, and M.K. Thomas concurred in the per curiam affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place. Because the appellate court supplied no reasoning and did not describe that ruling, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the underlying dispute or the legal issues presented.
