Background

Karron Lee McKinley appealed from the Circuit Court for Polk County, where Judge Jalal A. Harb presided over the underlying criminal case, No. 2023-CF-002818.

The appellate opinion does not describe the charges, procedural history, issues raised, or arguments presented. McKinley was represented on appeal by the Public Defender’s Office; the State made no appearance.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues. Judges Nardella, Brownlee, and Kamoutsas concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the judgment against McKinley.
  • The decision was a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion does not identify the appellate claims or establish a stated rule of law.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment in place but offers no reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its practical significance is therefore principally limited to the disposition of McKinley’s appeal.
