Background
Chancy Jordan appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Leon County, where Circuit Judge Stephen Everett presided. Jordan represented himself on appeal, while the State was represented by the Florida Attorney General’s Office.
The appellate opinion does not identify the underlying charges, describe the challenged ruling, or state the arguments Jordan raised.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. Judges Kelsey, Nordby, and Neff concurred, and the opinion therefore provides no reasoning or issue-specific holding beyond leaving the lower court’s decision intact.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the Leon County circuit court’s decision.
- The decision was unanimous among the three identified panel members.
- Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion does not disclose the issues presented or establish an articulated rule of law.
Why It Matters
The decision ends Jordan’s appeal in the First District unless altered through a timely and authorized post-decision motion. Its practical effect is to leave the circuit court’s ruling undisturbed.
Because the court issued only an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion offers attorneys no substantive analysis to apply in other cases.
