Background
Michael Eric McCollum, Jr., proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for Lee County, where Judge Nicholas Thompson presided in lower-tribunal case number 2022-CF-000195.
The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The Sixth District’s opinion does not describe McCollum’s claims, the circuit court’s ruling, or the underlying facts.
The Court’s Holding
In a per curiam decision, the Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues. Judges Mize, Brownlee, and Kamoutsas concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
- The decision was issued per curiam without a written explanation.
- Because the opinion states no facts or reasoning, it does not identify the grounds on which the circuit court’s ruling was upheld.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but supplies no legal analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its practical significance is therefore limited to the disposition of McCollum’s appeal.
