Background

Alvin Thurman, proceeding without counsel, appealed from the Circuit Court for Leon County. Circuit Judge Lance Eric Neff entered the decision under review.

The First District’s abbreviated opinion does not identify the nature of the underlying case, the ruling challenged on appeal, the arguments raised, or the relevant facts.

The Court’s Holding

The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. Judges Ray, Kelsey, and Winokur concurred in the per curiam disposition.

The court provided no reasoning, legal analysis, or discussion of the issues. The opinion states only that the judgment was “AFFIRMED.”

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision remains in place.
  • The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, claims, or appellate issues.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Thurman’s appeal in the State’s favor but supplies no written analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Any further procedural activity is subject to the provisions governing timely and authorized motions under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 and 9.331.
