Appeal from the Circuit Court for Alachua County.
Summary
The First District Court of Appeal reviewed an appeal by Demiko White from a judgment of the Circuit Court for Alachua County. After consideration, the appellate court issued a per curiam opinion on April 24, 2026, summarily affirming the lower court's decision. The court provided no published opinion or extended reasoning in the document and noted that the decision is not final until any timely authorized motion under Florida appellate rules is resolved.
Issue Decided
- Whether errors asserted by appellant Demiko White in the circuit court's judgment warranted reversal.
Court's Reasoning
The court issued a per curiam affirmation without an extended written opinion, indicating the panel found no reversible error in the circuit court's proceedings or that any asserted errors did not merit reversal under controlling law.

What You Should Do Next

If the appellant believes there are grounds, they should consider timely filing a motion for rehearing or other authorized motions under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331 within the applicable deadlines.
- 2
Consult appellate counsel
Because the opinion is a summary affirmance, the appellant should consult an attorney to assess procedural options and whether further review (such as a motion for rehearing or petition for review) is appropriate.

Monitor deadlines
Ensure compliance with all appellate deadlines for filing post-decision motions or petitions to avoid forfeiting further review opportunities.
