Background

Donshamar Wagner appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for Alachua County, where Judge James M. Colaw presided.

The First District’s two-page opinion does not describe the underlying charges, procedural history, issues raised on appeal, or arguments presented by the parties.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam disposition.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the merits. Chief Judge Osterhaus and Judges Lewis and Treadwell concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The First District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
  • The decision was a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the circuit court’s decision in place but offers no explanation of the appellate court’s reasoning. Because the opinion contains no factual or legal analysis, it provides no substantive guidance beyond the result in Wagner’s appeal.
