Background

Harry Lee Goldsboro II, proceeding without counsel, appealed an order of the Circuit Court for Orange County. The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2), which governs certain appeals from summary postconviction proceedings.

The opinion does not identify Goldsboro’s underlying conviction, describe his postconviction claims, or explain the circuit court’s reasoning.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s order.

The court issued a per curiam decision consisting only of the disposition “AFFIRMED.” It provided no explanation of its reasoning and announced no express rule of law.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District left the Orange County circuit court’s postconviction order in place.
  • The appeal was considered under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
  • Because the court gave no reasoning, the opinion does not disclose which claims were raised or why they failed.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this stage of Goldsboro’s postconviction appeal unless further review or rehearing is available and pursued. Its practical significance is limited to affirming the lower court’s order because the appellate court did not provide a written legal analysis.
