Background
The Florida School Department of Military Affairs and the Division of Risk Management appealed a ruling involving Marshall Rawson from the Office of the Judges of Compensation Claims. The order under review was entered by Judge of Compensation Claims Ralph J. Humphries.
The opinion identifies February 19, 2024, as the date of accident but provides no facts about the accident, Rawson’s claimed benefits, the compensation judge’s reasoning, or the issues raised on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the ruling below in a per curiam decision. Judges Lewis, Rowe, and Ray concurred.
Because the court issued only the word “AFFIRMED” and supplied no written analysis, the opinion does not identify the appellate arguments, articulate a legal rule, or explain the basis for affirmance.
Key Takeaways
- The First District left the ruling of the Office of the Judges of Compensation Claims in place.
- The decision was a unanimous per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion provides no substantive guidance concerning the underlying workers’ compensation dispute.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves this appeal in Rawson’s favor by preserving the result below. Its broader significance is limited because the court did not discuss the facts, issues, or governing law.
