Background

David P. Mollica, proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for Glades County, where Judge Jack Lundy presided in lower tribunal case number 22-CA-108. The appellees were the Warden of Moore Haven Correctional Facility and Glades County.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The opinion does not describe Mollica’s claims, the underlying facts, the circuit court’s ruling, or the grounds raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court provided no reasoning or analysis and did not identify the precise nature of the judgment or order being affirmed. Judges Gannam, Kamoutsas, and Pratt concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying claims, facts, or basis for the appeal.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal at the Sixth District unless further review or rehearing is available and pursued. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the underlying legal issues.
