Matthew Lucas Wade v. State of Florida - Criminal Appeal Affirmed
Summary
The Fifth District Court of Appeal of Florida affirmed Matthew Lucas Wade's conviction from Citrus County Circuit Court. The per curiam decision states only 'AFFIRMED' with Justices Edwards, Boatwright, and Maciver concurring. No written opinion was issued.
What changed
The appellate court affirmed the trial court's decision without issuing a substantive written opinion. The defendant, Matthew Lucas Wade, sought review of his Citrus County Circuit Court conviction; the affirmance leaves that conviction and any associated sentence intact.
For affected parties, this outcome means the lower court's judgment stands as final. Other criminal defendants pursuing appeals should note that per curiam affirmations without written opinions provide limited precedential value and do not establish new legal standards.
