Background

Keiontae Douglas Thomas appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Escambia County, where Judge John F. Simon, Jr., presided. The opinion does not identify the charges, the challenged ruling, or the arguments raised on appeal.

The State of Florida appeared as appellee. Because the First District issued a summary per curiam affirmance, the opinion supplies no additional facts or procedural history.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. Judges Roberts, Rowe, and Kelsey concurred.

The court provided no reasoning and announced no express rule of law. The disposition therefore establishes only that the judgment or order under review remained in effect.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the Escambia County circuit court’s decision.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, legal issues, or grounds for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the State’s favor unless altered through an authorized post-decision motion or further review. Because the court gave no written analysis, the opinion offers practitioners no substantive guidance on the legal questions presented.
