Background

Alexander Ryan Wilde appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Lake County in lower-court case number 35-2024-CF-307-A. Circuit Judge James R. Baxley entered the judgment under review.

The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying charge, the relevant facts, the procedural arguments, or the issues Wilde raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision. Judges Wallis, Edwards, and Kilbane concurred.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the appellate claims. The disposition was not final until resolution of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District affirmed the judgment against Wilde.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion establishes no stated rule of law and does not disclose the issues presented on appeal.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment intact but offers no precedential analysis or guidance on the merits. Because the opinion contains no facts or reasoning, no broader substantive holding can reliably be attributed to the court.
