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 affirmed the lower court's judgment without issuing a written opinion explaining its reasoning. The per curiam disposition indicates the appellate panel found no reversible error warranting detailed explanation. Judges Rowe, Nordby, and Long concurred in the judgment only.
Criminal defendants in Florida, particularly those proceeding without counsel, should understand that per curiam affirmances provide no precedential guidance and do not establish binding legal principles. Pro se litigants bear the burden of identifying and preserving issues for appellate review, and the lack of written analysis here offers no roadmap for future challenges.
