Background

Travis Scott Stone appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Okaloosa County, where Judge David James Oberliesen presided.

The First District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues Stone raised, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges Lewis, Ray, and M.K. Thomas concurred.

The court provided no reasoning or other explanation for its ruling. The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion supplies no facts, legal issues, or analysis from which a broader holding can be drawn.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place, but its lack of factual or legal analysis limits what attorneys can take from it beyond the result in Stone’s appeal.
