Background

Marshaun Aquanus Wells appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Escambia County, where Judge John F. Simon, Jr. presided.

The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, facts, procedural history, issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.

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 written reasoning and announced no express rule of law. Judges Roberts, Winokur, and Treadwell concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision remains in place.
  • The appellate court resolved the case through a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion does not identify the appellate issues or establish an express legal standard.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the First District unless altered through a timely authorized motion under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331. Because the court issued no substantive analysis, the opinion offers no guidance on the merits beyond affirming the result below.
