Background
Ricky Balajadia, Jr. appealed from the Circuit Court of the First Circuit’s February 27, 2025 Judgment of Conviction and Sentence in Case No. 1CPC-23-0001184.
On August 31, 2026, the Intermediate Court of Appeals entered a Summary Disposition Order. The court later identified errors in the wording of that order.
The Court’s Holding
In an order of correction, the Intermediate Court of Appeals corrected the first paragraph on page 1 of its August 31, 2026 Summary Disposition Order to state that the judgment convicted Balajadia of “Attempted” without stating the offense beyond that word.
The court also corrected the final paragraph on page 18 to state that, based on its analysis, it affirmed the circuit court’s February 27, 2025 Judgment of Conviction and Sentence. The clerk was directed to notify publishing agencies of the correction.
Key Takeaways
- The appellate court corrected wording in its previously issued Summary Disposition Order.
- The corrected disposition affirms the February 27, 2025 Judgment of Conviction and Sentence.
- The order directs the clerk to notify publishing agencies of the changes.
Why It Matters
The order does not reconsider the merits of the appeal. It ensures that the appellate court’s prior disposition accurately identifies the conviction as one for an attempted offense and accurately states that the judgment was affirmed.
