SIXTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ Case No. 6D2025-0179 Lower Tribunal No. 2024-CC-015210 _____________________________ SHAWN M. NICHOLS and COLLIN M. NICHOLS, Appellants, v. BURSHAN, LLC, Appellee. _____________________________ Appeal from the County Court for Orange County. Andrew L. Cameron, Judge. November 13, 2026 PER CURIAM. We affirm as to Shawn M. Nichols. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So. 2d 1150 (Fla. 1979); Fla. R. App. P. 9.200(f)(2); see also Duest v. Dugger, 555 So. 2d 849, 852 (Fla. 1990) (“The purpose of an appellate brief is to present arguments in support of the points on appeal.”). “[Appellant’s] failure to fully brief and argue these points constitutes a waiver of these claims.” Victorino v. State, 23 So. 3d 87, 103 (Fla. 2009). We dismiss as to Collin M. Nichols because he did not file a notice of appeal “within 30 days of rendition of the order to be reviewed . . . .” Fla. R. App. P. 9.110(b). The timely notice of appeal filed by Shawn M. Nichols purportedly on behalf of both Appellants is a nullity as to Collin M. Nichols because Shawn M. Nichols is not a member of The Florida Bar. See Green v. State, Nos. 4D2026-2733, 4D2026-2742, 4D2026-2743, 4D2026-2744, 2026 WL 3068559 (Fla. 4th DCA Oct. 14, 2026) (explaining prior order that dismissed as unauthorized the petitions for writ of habeas corpus filed by a non-lawyer on jail inmates’ behalf); see also Gonzalez v. Lagrasse, 51 Fla. L. Weekly D1771b (Fla. 6th DCA Aug. 26, 2026) (concluding that, although “[a] natural person may represent himself and present his own case to the court although he is not a licensed attorney,” the non-lawyer trustee could not represent the trust (quoting Nicholson Supply Co. v. First Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n of Hardee Cnty., 184 So. 2d 438, 440 (Fla. 2d DCA 1966) (emphasis added); then citing, e.g., EHQF Tr. v. S & A Cap. Partners, Inc., 947 So. 2d 606, 606 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007))), reh’g denied (Fla. 6th DCA Oct. 12, 2026). AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part. STARGEL, WHITE and KAMOUTSAS, JJ., concur. Shawn M. Nichols and Collin M. Nichols, Winter Garden, pro se. Ronald W. Sikes and Tamara Dacey, of Sikes Law Group, PLLC, Winter Garden, for Appellee.
