Background
Jamal Wodford, proceeding without counsel, appealed from the Circuit Court for Bay County. The order or judgment under review was entered by Circuit Judge Brantley S. Clark, Jr.
The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, procedural history, issues raised on appeal, or arguments presented by the parties. The State was represented by the Florida Attorney General’s Office.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. It issued a per curiam affirmance consisting only of the word “AFFIRMED.”
Because the court provided no reasoning, the opinion establishes only that the judgment or order under review remained in effect. It does not identify the legal grounds for affirmance or resolve any stated question of law.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the Bay County circuit court’s decision.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- Judges Rowe, Bilbrey, and Long concurred.
Why It Matters
The ruling ends this stage of Wodford’s appeal while leaving the circuit court’s decision intact, subject to any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Because the opinion contains no facts, issues, or legal analysis, it offers no substantive guidance beyond the result in this case.
