Background
Wade Omar Williams, representing himself, appealed from a decision of the Florida Department of Revenue’s Child Support Program. The appellees were the Department and Sonia Rueda.
The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the agency’s ruling, the arguments raised on appeal, or the applicable legal standards.
The Court’s Holding
The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the Department of Revenue’s decision. The court issued its ruling per curiam, with Chief Judge Osterhaus and Judges Lewis and Ray concurring.
The opinion provides no explanation for the affirmance and establishes no express legal reasoning beyond leaving the challenged agency decision in place.
Key Takeaways
- The Department of Revenue’s child-support decision was affirmed.
- The court resolved the appeal through a per curiam affirmance without a written analysis.
- The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, appellate issues, or grounds for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The ruling ends the appeal in the Department’s favor unless altered through an authorized post-decision motion or further review. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on Florida child-support law.
