Background

Michele Taylor, proceeding without counsel, appealed from the County Court for Duval County. The appeal arose from two lower-court matters identified as case numbers 2024-SC-001622-A and 2024-SC-001817-A.

The appellate opinion does not describe the parties’ dispute, the county court’s rulings, the arguments raised on appeal, or the relief Taylor sought. Rodney Bradley, Elaine Sharon McCray, Monique Means, and Totakeo Praylow appeared as appellees through counsel.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the county court’s judgment in a per curiam decision. Judges MAKAR, WALLIS, and SOUD concurred.

The court supplied no analysis or explanation for its decision. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the judgment under review was affirmed; it does not announce a legal rule or identify the grounds supporting affirmance.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District affirmed the Duval County Court’s judgment.
  • The decision was a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, appellate issues, or basis for the court’s ruling.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the appellees’ favor, subject to disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331. Because the court issued no reasoned opinion, the decision provides no substantive guidance on the legal issues involved.
