Background

Zachary Steven Johnson appealed from the Circuit Court for Collier County, where Circuit Judge John McGowan presided. The appellate opinion identifies the lower-tribunal case as 2019-CF-002263-AXXX-XX.

The opinion provides no facts, procedural history, arguments, or description of the particular ruling under review.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed in a per curiam decision.

The court offered no reasoning or legal analysis. Judges Nardella, Kamoutsas, and Pratt concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court without a written explanation.
  • The opinion does not identify the issues Johnson raised on appeal.
  • The opinion establishes no stated rationale beyond the affirmance itself.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this stage of appellate review in the State’s favor, subject to the opinion’s notice regarding the time to seek rehearing.

Because the court did not explain its reasoning or describe the matter under review, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the underlying facts or legal issues.
