Appeal from the circuit court for Polk County pursuant to Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2).

Summary

The Sixth District Court of Appeal reviewed Antwan D. Johnson's appeal from a Polk County circuit court decision and, in a short per curiam order, affirmed the lower court's judgment. The opinion is brief, contains no published reasoning, and the panel of judges concurred. The decision was issued April 21, 2026, and notes that it is not final until the time to file a motion for rehearing expires and any timely motion is resolved.

Issue Decided

  • Whether the circuit court's judgment in the underlying criminal matter should be reversed on appeal under Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2).

Court's Reasoning

The opinion is a per curiam affirmance with no elaborated reasoning in the published text. The panel concluded the appellant's arguments did not warrant reversal and therefore affirmed the circuit court's judgment. Because the court issued a short-form affirmance, specific legal analysis and fact-by-fact application are not provided in this document.
