Appeal pursuant to Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County
Summary
The Second District Court of Appeal reviewed an appeal by Jason Funk from a Hillsborough County circuit court criminal postconviction or sentencing matter under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The court, in a per curiam decision, affirmed the lower court's ruling. No published opinion or additional reasoning was provided in the order; the panel (Kelly, Morris, and Guard, JJ.) concurred and the decision is subject to revision before official publication.
Issue Decided
- Whether the circuit court's ruling in the underlying criminal matter should be reversed on appeal under Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2)
Court's Reasoning
The court issued a brief per curiam affirmance without an opinion explaining the court's analysis. Because no reasoning or legal analysis was provided in the published text, the appellate disposition stands as an affirmance of the lower court's decision. The lack of a written opinion means the panel did not set out the operative legal rules or fact-based application in this order.
