Background
Jade Johnson appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Volusia County, where Judge Kathryn Diane Weston presided. The appellate opinion identifies the lower-tribunal case number as 2023-303698-CFDB.
The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the charges, the procedural history beyond the appeal, or the arguments raised by Johnson.
The Court’s Holding
The Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment. Judges Makar, Lambert, and Harris concurred in the per curiam decision.
The court provided no written reasoning, addressed no specific claim of error, and announced no express rule of law. The disposition states only: “AFFIRMED.”
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
- The decision was issued per curiam by a panel consisting of Judges Makar, Lambert, and Harris.
- The opinion does not disclose the facts, appellate issues, or rationale for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision ends Johnson’s appeal in the Fifth District with the circuit court’s judgment left in place, subject to any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
Because the court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion offers no substantive analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
