Background
Reginald Laronn Harris appealed from a ruling of the Circuit Court for Duval County in criminal case number 2024-CF-004099-A. Circuit Judge London M. Kite entered the ruling under review.
The Fifth District’s brief opinion does not describe the charges, the procedural issue presented, or Harris’s appellate arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling in a per curiam decision. Judges Lambert, Eisnaugle, and MacIver concurred.
The court supplied no independent analysis and cited Jones v. State, 407 So. 3d 458, 460–61 (Fla. 4th DCA 2025), as authority for the affirmance.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the ruling against Harris.
- The court resolved the appeal through a per curiam affirmance without discussing the facts or arguments.
- The opinion relied on Jones v. State but did not explain how that authority applied.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the Duval County circuit court’s ruling in place, but its lack of factual discussion or legal analysis limits what practitioners can draw from it beyond the court’s reliance on Jones.
