The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the merits. Chief Judge Osterhaus and Judges Lewis and Winokur concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the judgment below.
- The decision was issued per curiam without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not identify the appellate issues or establish a stated rule of law.
Why It Matters
The ruling leaves the circuit court’s judgment intact, subject to disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no explanation of how the panel evaluated Williams’s claims.
