Background
Stephen Harmon Monroe appealed in a proceeding originating in the Circuit Court for Flagler County, where Circuit Judge Dawn D. Nichols presided. The appellate opinion identifies the lower-tribunal case number as 18-2022-CF-618-A.
The Fifth District’s two-page opinion provides no facts, procedural history, description of the ruling under review, or account of the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed. The decision was issued per curiam, with Chief Judge Jay and Judges Edwards and MacIver concurring.
Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion announces no express rule of law and does not identify the basis for affirmance. It also states that the decision is not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not specify the facts, issues presented, arguments, or ruling under review.
- The decision was per curiam and unanimous among the three identified panel members.
Why It Matters
The disposition resolves the appeal at the panel level but offers attorneys no substantive analysis to apply in other cases. Any assessment of the underlying dispute or the court’s rationale would require materials beyond this opinion.
