Background
Cordell Najee Williams, proceeding pro se, appealed an order of the Circuit Court for Polk County in lower-tribunal case number 2019-CF-007728. Circuit Judge J. Kevin Abdoney entered the order under review.
The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The appellate opinion does not describe Williams’s underlying claims, the circuit court’s reasoning, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s order.
The court issued a written per curiam opinion containing only the disposition “AFFIRMED.” It provided no factual discussion, legal analysis, or explanation of its reasoning.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the circuit court’s order.
- The decision was unanimous, with Chief Judge Traver and Judges Nardella and Wozniak concurring.
- The opinion did not identify or resolve any specific legal issue in an explanatory analysis.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s order in place but supplies no reasoning for practitioners to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore limited to the disposition of Williams’s appeal.
