Background

Ronald James Lindsey appealed from proceedings in the Circuit Court for Marion County before Judge Timothy Thomas McCourt. The consolidated appeal concerned lower-tribunal case numbers 2004-CF-001133-A-X and 2025-CF-003298-A-X.

The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the charges, procedural history, issues raised, or arguments presented on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgments in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no written reasoning or discussion of the merits. Chief Judge Jay and Judges Eisnaugle and Boatwright concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District affirmed the rulings under review.
  • The decision was issued per curiam without an explanatory opinion.
  • The opinion does not identify the appellate issues or establish a stated rule of law.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgments in place but supplies no reasoning for application in other cases. Its significance is therefore principally to the parties and the disposition of these consolidated appeals.
