Background

Travis J. Moody appealed from a ruling of the Circuit Court for Orange County, where Judge Eric J. Netcher presided. The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).

Moody represented himself. The State was represented by Attorney General James Uthmeier and Assistant Attorney General Rebecca Rock McGuigan.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.

The court issued a per curiam disposition consisting only of the word “AFFIRMED” and provided no explanation of its reasoning. Chief Judge Traver and Judges Kamoutsas and Pratt concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the Orange County circuit court’s ruling.
  • The decision was unanimous among the three identified panel members.
  • The opinion did not describe the underlying dispute or explain the basis for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place. Because the opinion supplies no factual discussion or legal analysis, it does not reveal which arguments Moody raised or why the panel rejected them.
