Background
Jacob J. Maddox appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Okaloosa County, where William F. Stone served as the trial judge. The opinion does not identify the charges, underlying facts, procedural history, or issues raised on appeal.
The State of Florida appeared as appellee. The First District resolved the appeal through a brief per curiam decision.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida First District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
The court provided no reasoning, legal analysis, or discussion of the issues presented. Judges Lewis, Winokur, and Neff concurred in the per curiam disposition.
Key Takeaways
- The First District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
- The decision was issued per curiam without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not disclose the factual or legal grounds underlying the appeal.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment in place but supplies no reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore principally procedural and case-specific.
The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
