Background

Alison Torres, proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for Lee County in lower-tribunal case number 2011-CF-019792. Circuit Judge Andrew Marcus entered the order under review.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The Sixth District’s opinion does not describe Torres’s underlying conviction, the claims she raised, or the circuit court’s reasoning.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.

The per curiam opinion consists only of the disposition “AFFIRMED” and provides no legal analysis or explanation. Judges Stargel, Wozniak, and Brownlee concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling in full.
  • The appeal was handled under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
  • Because the court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion states no rationale and resolves no expressly discussed legal issue.

Why It Matters

The decision ends Torres’s appeal in the Sixth District unless further relief is available and timely pursued. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance beyond leaving the circuit court’s ruling undisturbed.
