Background

Raymond Perry, III appealed from a ruling of the Circuit Court for Orange County in criminal case number 2014-CF-011336-A-O. Circuit Judge Leticia Marques entered the ruling under review.

The appeal proceeded under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2), which governs certain postconviction appeals. The Sixth District’s opinion does not identify Perry’s claims, describe the circuit court’s reasoning, or provide additional facts about the underlying prosecution.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.

The per curiam opinion provides no reasoning or discussion of the issues presented. Judges Nardella, Mize, and Pratt concurred in the disposition.

Key Takeaways

  • The Sixth District affirmed the Orange County circuit court’s ruling.
  • The appeal was brought under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2).
  • The opinion does not disclose the arguments on appeal or explain the basis for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this stage of Perry’s postconviction appeal in the State’s favor, subject to the period for seeking rehearing. Because the court issued an unexplained affirmance, the opinion supplies no substantive analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases.
