Background
Frederick L. McCray, proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for Polk County in lower tribunal case number 2017-CF-003153. Circuit Judge Brenda P. Ramirez entered the order under review.
The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The Sixth District’s opinion does not describe McCray’s underlying conviction, the arguments he raised, or the circuit court’s reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. The disposition was per curiam and stated only: “AFFIRMED.”
Because the court supplied no analysis, the opinion identifies no legal issue, announces no rule of law, and gives no explanation for rejecting McCray’s appeal. Judges Wozniak, Mize, and Gannam concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the Polk County Circuit Court’s ruling.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explanatory reasoning.
- The opinion does not disclose the claims McCray presented or the basis for the lower court’s ruling.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves McCray’s appeal in the State’s favor but provides no written legal analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore limited to the affirmance reflected in the disposition.
