Background

Najee K. Mears appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Polk County, where Circuit Judge J. Kevin Abdoney presided. The appellate proceeding was docketed as Case No. 6D2025-2019 and arose from lower-tribunal Case No. 2025-CF-000045.

The Sixth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying criminal charge, the arguments raised on appeal, or the circuit court’s reasoning.

The Court’s Holding

The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision. The court provided no written analysis or explanation for its ruling.

Judges Wozniak, Gannam, and Kamoutsas concurred. The opinion stated that it was not final until the time to seek rehearing expired and any timely rehearing motion was resolved.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion supplies no facts or legal analysis from which to identify the appellate issues or broader rule of law.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment in place but offers no precedential analysis or guidance on the underlying legal issues. Its practical significance is therefore primarily limited to the parties and the disposition of this appeal.
