Appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County (criminal matter).
Summary
The Florida First District Court of Appeal reviewed an appeal by Shaquille Berod Solomon from a decision of the Circuit Court for Escambia County. The appellate court, in a per curiam opinion, affirmed the lower court's decision without published opinion on April 20, 2026. The court provided no extended reasoning in the opinion beyond the single-word disposition and noted concurrence by the three judges. The decision is subject to any timely post-judgment motions under Florida appellate rules.
Issue Decided
- Whether the Circuit Court's ruling should be reversed on the issues raised by appellant Shaquille Berod Solomon
Court's Reasoning
The opinion is per curiam and contains only the disposition "AFFIRMED" with no written explanation. Because the court provided no stated legal analysis, the affirmation indicates the appellate panel found no reversible error in the lower court's proceedings or rulings as presented in the appeal.
