Background

Kelvin L Meyers, proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for Alachua County, where Judge James M. Colaw presided. The State of Florida appeared as appellee.

The First District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the nature of the proceeding, the ruling under review, or the arguments raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The First District affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges Roberts, Rowe, and Kelsey concurred.

The court provided no reasoning or legal analysis, so the opinion establishes only that the judgment or order under review was affirmed. The decision was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion does not identify the underlying facts, issues, or type of proceeding.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the State’s favor, subject to any timely and authorized post-decision motion. Because the court supplied no analysis, the opinion offers no stated rationale or issue-specific guidance for future cases.
