Background

Saint-Tilien Meteyeux, proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for Osceola County, where Judge Tanya Davis Wilson presided over lower-tribunal case number 2008-CF-004715. The State of Florida was the appellee.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2), which governs certain appeals in postconviction proceedings. The opinion does not describe Meteyeux’s claims, the circuit court’s ruling, or the underlying facts.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s disposition. The court issued a per curiam decision consisting solely of the word “AFFIRMED.”

Because the court provided no reasoning, the opinion establishes no stated rationale for rejecting Meteyeux’s arguments and does not identify which issues were presented or resolved. Chief Judge Traver and Judges Wozniak and Mize concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the lower court’s disposition.
  • The appeal arose under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
  • The per curiam opinion supplies no facts, legal analysis, or explanation for the result.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this stage of Meteyeux’s challenge with an affirmance, subject to the stated rehearing period. Its practical value beyond the parties is limited because the court did not explain its reasoning or announce a rule of law.
