Background

Keyon Leonard Richardson appealed from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, where Judge Ramiro C. Areces presided over lower-tribunal case number F13-1586B.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). Richardson represented himself, and the Florida Attorney General represented the State.

The Court’s Holding

The Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling in a per curiam opinion.

The court provided no reasoning, factual discussion, or explanation of the legal issues presented.

Key Takeaways

  • The Third District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
  • The per curiam opinion did not disclose the court’s reasoning or establish a stated rule of law.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place. Because the opinion consists only of an affirmance, it offers no guidance about the underlying claims or the panel’s rationale.
