Background
Franklin Glenn Crawley appealed from a proceeding in the Circuit Court for Flagler County, where Circuit Judge Dawn D. Nichols presided. The appellate opinion identifies the lower-court case as 2025-CF-000125-A but provides no facts, charges, procedural history, or description of the issues Crawley raised.
Crawley was represented on appeal by the Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel. The Florida Attorney General’s Office represented the State.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision. Judges Wallis, Edwards, and Boatwright concurred in the per curiam disposition.
The court issued no written analysis and did not identify the grounds for affirmance. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the challenged judgment or order was left intact; it does not reveal the panel’s reasoning or announce a legal rule.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
- The decision was issued per curiam by a unanimous three-judge panel.
- Because the opinion contains no factual discussion or legal analysis, no broader holding can be attributed to the court.
Why It Matters
The disposition ends Crawley’s appeal in the Fifth District unless altered through a timely authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331. Its significance beyond the parties is limited because the court did not explain its reasoning or address any legal issue in writing.
