Background

Anthony Germain Perry appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Alachua County. Circuit Judge Aymer L. Curtin presided over the matter below.

The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, procedural history, issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment. Chief Judge Osterhaus and Judges Lewis and Ray concurred in the per curiam disposition.

The court supplied no reasoning or discussion of the merits. The opinion therefore establishes only that the judgment under review was affirmed and does not identify the legal grounds for that result.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the judgment appealed by Perry.
  • The decision was issued per curiam by a three-judge panel consisting of Chief Judge Osterhaus and Judges Lewis and Ray.
  • Because the opinion contains no factual discussion or legal analysis, no broader holding can be attributed to the court.

Why It Matters

The disposition leaves the circuit court’s judgment intact. Its practical significance is limited to the affirmance because the appellate court did not explain its reasoning or announce a rule of law.
