Background

Frandiber Santana-Baez appealed from an unspecified ruling of the Circuit Court for Alachua County. Circuit Judge William E. Davis presided below.

The First District’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, charges, arguments, or legal issues presented on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the merits. Chief Judge Osterhaus and Judges Lewis and Bilbrey concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court was affirmed.
  • The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion does not identify the underlying facts or legal issues.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place but offers no explanation of the appellate court’s reasoning. Because the opinion contains no factual or legal analysis, it provides no guidance on the merits beyond the affirmance itself.
