Background

Marvin Pace appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Union County, where Circuit Judge Mitchell D. Bishop presided.

The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues Pace raised, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation, so the opinion states no legal reasoning and resolves no identified issue in a precedential written analysis.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision remains in place.
  • The appellate court provided no explanation for its affirmance.
  • The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Why It Matters

The ruling ends the appeal in the State’s favor unless further authorized review or rehearing alters the result. Because the court supplied no facts or reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the legal issues involved.
