Gardner v. State of Florida - Criminal Appeal Affirmed
Summary
The First District Court of Appeal of Florida affirmed the criminal conviction appealed from the Circuit Court for Alachua County, with Judge James M. Colaw presiding below. The per curiam decision was issued April 24, 2026, with Judges Rowe, Nordby, and Long concurring. No citations are known for this disposition, indicating no published precedent was created by the affirmance. Shaheed Kabree Gardner, appearing pro se, did not obtain relief on appeal. For compliance and legal professionals, this affirmance means the underlying conviction and any associated sentence remain in full force and effect.
About this source
Florida's District Courts of Appeal sit between the trial courts and the Florida Supreme Court. Six districts cover the state, hearing appeals on civil judgments, criminal convictions, family law orders, and administrative decisions. This feed tracks every published opinion across all six districts, around 125 a month, with the case name, appellant, type of relief sought, and outcome. Watch this if you practice civil litigation in Florida, defend insurance disputes (the carriers fight a lot of appeals here), or follow Florida's busy criminal post-conviction docket. GovPing pulls from CourtListener's official mirror of the courts' RSS feeds.
What changed
The First District Court of Appeal of Florida affirmed the lower court's judgment in this criminal appeal, with no written opinion explaining the basis for affirmance beyond the per curiam disposition. The case involved Shaheed Kabree Gardner as appellant (pro se) and the State of Florida as appellee, with the appeal originating from Alachua County Circuit Court.
For appellate practitioners and criminal defendants, this disposition serves as a reminder that per curiam affirmances do not create precedential value and provide no insight into the appellate court's reasoning. Defendants considering appeals should carefully evaluate whether the trial record supports reversible error, as the affirmance provides no guidance on what arguments were considered persuasive or deficient.
