Background
Rachiel Nichole Moore appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Santa Rosa County, where Circuit Judge Clifton Drake presided. The opinion does not identify the charges, underlying facts, challenged ruling, or arguments raised on appeal.
Moore was represented by the Public Defender’s Office, and the State was represented by the Attorney General’s Office. The First District resolved the appeal through a per curiam decision.
The Court’s Holding
The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the challenged judgment or order was left undisturbed; it does not disclose the panel’s rationale or announce a rule of law.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
- The disposition was unanimous and issued per curiam.
- Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no explanation of the facts, appellate issues, or legal basis for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision ends Moore’s appeal in the First District unless altered through an authorized post-decision motion or further review. Its practical effect is to leave the circuit court’s ruling in place.
For other litigants, the one-word affirmance provides no substantive guidance on Florida law and should not be read as resolving any legal question beyond the disposition of this appeal.
