Background
Jevon Tavis Berrien appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Polk County in lower-tribunal case number 2021-CF-004700. Circuit Judge J. Kevin Abdoney presided below.
The Sixth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the charges, the trial-court proceedings, Berrien’s appellate arguments, or the State’s responses.
The Court’s Holding
The court affirmed the judgment on appeal.
The per curiam opinion provides no reasoning and identifies no specific legal issue or rule supporting the disposition. Judges White, Smith, and Brownlee concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District left the circuit court’s judgment in place.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not disclose the issues raised or establish an articulated rule of law.
Why It Matters
The decision resolves Berrien’s appeal in the State’s favor but offers no substantive analysis for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases.
Because the opinion states only that the judgment is affirmed, its significance is principally to the parties and the disposition of this case.
