Background
Joel Wignall appealed from a proceeding before the Florida Department of Revenue, Child Support Program. The appellate opinion identifies lower-tribunal numbers 2001457821 and 13250020814FC but does not describe the underlying dispute, the agency’s ruling, or the arguments raised on appeal.
Wignall represented himself. The Department of Revenue and the other appellees were represented by the Florida Attorney General’s Office.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Third District Court of Appeal affirmed the decision under review. The three-judge panel issued its ruling per curiam.
The opinion consists solely of the word “Affirmed” and provides no reasoning or discussion of the issues. It therefore establishes only that the challenged result remained in place, without identifying the legal or factual basis for affirmance.
Key Takeaways
- The Third District affirmed the ruling arising from the Department of Revenue’s Child Support Program.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not disclose the appellate issues, underlying facts, or grounds for the court’s decision.
Why It Matters
The ruling leaves the challenged child-support determination intact. Because the court supplied no analysis, the opinion offers no explanation of how Florida law applies beyond the disposition of this particular appeal.
