Roundtree — Fifth District affirmed in a Rule 3.800 appeal

Background

Sherwin Lloyd Roundtree appealed from the Circuit Court for Marion County, where Judge Barbara Kissner presided over the underlying criminal case.

The Fifth District identified the matter as a “3.800 Appeal.” The opinion does not describe Roundtree’s arguments, the substance of the circuit court’s ruling, or the facts underlying the case.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no written reasoning and did not characterize the particular ruling under review. Chief Judge Jay and Judges Wallis and Boatwright concurred.

Key Takeaways

• The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court in a Rule 3.800 appeal.
• The per curiam opinion contains no factual discussion or legal analysis.
• The opinion does not specify the nature of the circuit court’s ruling beyond identifying the proceeding as a “3.800 Appeal.”

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but supplies no precedential reasoning regarding Rule 3.800 or the merits of Roundtree’s appeal.
