Background
Rico Munn Rodriguez appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Bay County, where Judge Brantley S. Clark, Jr. presided. The opinion does not identify the charges, sentence, issues raised, or arguments presented on appeal.
Rodriguez was represented by the Public Defender’s Office. The State of Florida was represented by the Attorney General’s Office.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment. The decision was issued per curiam by a panel consisting of Judges Rowe, Nordby, and Long.
The court provided no written reasoning or discussion of the facts or legal issues. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the challenged judgment was affirmed, not the panel’s rationale for doing so.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the Bay County circuit court’s judgment against Rodriguez.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not disclose the underlying charges, appellate issues, or basis for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment in place but offers no substantive legal analysis for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases.
The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
