Background
K.D.D.E., identified as a child, appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Duval County. Circuit Judge Michael A. Kalil presided over the lower-court proceeding, docketed as 2025-CJ-000399-A.
The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying allegations, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition. Judges Lambert, Edwards, and Harris concurred.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the merits. The opinion therefore establishes only that the lower court’s decision was affirmed; it does not identify the grounds for affirmance.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the decision involving K.D.D.E.
- The three-judge panel consisted of Judges Lambert, Edwards, and Harris.
- Because the court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion supplies no factual analysis or articulated rule of law.
Why It Matters
The disposition leaves the circuit court’s decision in place but offers no written guidance about the underlying juvenile-law issues. Attorneys should not infer a factual or legal rationale beyond the court’s express decision to affirm.
