Background

Gregory Melvin Zopff appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit in Martin County. Circuit Judge William L. Roby presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 432024CF001116CFAXMX.

The Fourth District Court of Appeal’s brief disposition does not describe the underlying charges, the arguments raised on appeal, or the circuit court’s reasoning.

The Court’s Holding

The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision. Judges Gross, May, and Ciklin concurred.

The court issued no written analysis and therefore announced no express reasoning or rule of law beyond affirmance of the judgment under review. The decision was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
  • The court provided no written explanation for its decision.
  • The opinion does not identify the appellate issues or describe the underlying criminal case.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment intact but offers no precedential analysis for attorneys or lower courts. Its practical significance is therefore primarily limited to the parties and the disposition of this appeal.
