Background
Danitto Simpson appealed from a ruling of the Circuit Court for Volusia County in lower-court case number 2023-304309-CFDB. Circuit Judge Karen A. Foxman presided below.
The Fifth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying charges, facts, challenged ruling, or arguments raised on appeal. The court issued a per curiam decision without a written explanation.
The Court’s Holding
The Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment. Judges Lambert, Edwards, and Harris concurred.
Because the court provided no reasoning, the opinion establishes only that the lower court’s judgment was left in place. It does not identify the legal grounds for affirmance or resolve any stated legal question in a written analysis.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
- The decision was unanimous and issued per curiam.
- The opinion contains no factual discussion or legal reasoning.
Why It Matters
The decision ends the appeal in the Fifth District with the lower court’s judgment intact, 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 written guidance on the substantive or procedural issues presented.
