Background
Andrew Jason Persaud appealed an order denying his motion for postconviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.
The challenged order was entered by Judge Daliah Handel Weiss of the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, in lower-tribunal case number 502019CF001039AXXXMB.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the order denying Persaud’s Rule 3.850 motion.
The per curiam opinion supplied no reasoning, discussed no claims, and announced no rule of law. Judges May, Ciklin, and Klingensmith concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The denial of Persaud’s Rule 3.850 motion was affirmed.
- The appellate court did not explain the factual or legal basis for its decision.
- The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s denial of postconviction relief in place. Because the appellate court issued an unexplained affirmance, the opinion provides no substantive guidance about Persaud’s claims or the application of Rule 3.850.
