Background
Derek Alexander Riccobono appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Lee County in lower-tribunal case number 2017-CF-017733. Circuit Judge Bruce Kyle entered the ruling under review.
The Sixth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the charges, facts, procedural history, appellate arguments, or specific order challenged.
The Court’s Holding
The court affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.
The opinion provides no reasoning, addresses no legal issue expressly, and cites no authority. Chief Judge Traver and Judges Wozniak and Kamoutsas concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Sixth District affirmed the judgment against Riccobono.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion establishes no express rule of law and does not reveal the grounds for affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the lower court’s judgment intact but offers practitioners no substantive analysis of the appellate issues. Because the court did not explain its reasoning, the opinion provides no guidance beyond the result in this case.
