Summary
The Second District Court of Appeal reviewed a pro se appeal by Darrell Anthony Patterson, Jr., from a Pinellas County circuit court order under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2). The appellate court issued a brief per curiam decision on April 29, 2026, affirming the lower court's decision. No published opinion or extended explanation of reasoning appears in the document; the panel simply affirmed the judgment of the circuit court and the decision is subject to revision before official publication.
Issue Decided
- Whether the circuit court's ruling that was appealed (under Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2)) should be reversed or affirmed.
Court's Reasoning
The court issued a per curiam affirmance without an opinion in the published text, indicating that the appellate panel found no reversible error in the circuit court's proceedings or ruling. Because no substantive rationale is provided in this order, the affirmance stands as the court's disposition of the appeal. Any further explanation may be contained in an opinion if released later before official publication.
