Background
Claudine Ingram, proceeding pro se, appealed a judgment of the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. Circuit Judge James Sherman presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 502021CA003826XXXXMB.
The appellee was The Sanford Bacon Trust. The Fourth District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision. Judges Gross, Forst, and Shepherd concurred.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the merits. The opinion stated that it would not become final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Key Takeaways
- The circuit court’s judgment was affirmed.
- The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
- The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, appellate issues, or legal grounds supporting affirmance.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment intact but supplies no written analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its practical significance is therefore principally to the parties and the disposition of this appeal.
