Supreme Court of Florida

Arrington R. Wells v. State of Florida

January 16, 201439 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 29

Summary

The court dismissed Wells's petition because it lacked discretionary jurisdiction to review the First District's unelaborated per curiam dismissal, which merely cited authorities and did not expressly address a legal question within the opinion itself. The court extended its existing jurisdictional reasoning for unelaborated affirmances and denials to comparable dismissals and authorized administrative dismissal of future petitions presenting the same jurisdictional defect.
