Zantman v. State — Second District affirms without a written explanation

Background

Romeo Zantman appealed from a judgment or order of the Circuit Court for Manatee County, where Judge Teresa K. Dees presided.

The appellate opinion does not identify the offense, the challenged ruling, the arguments raised, or the underlying facts.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Second District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning. Judges Kelly, Atkinson, and Smith concurred.

Key Takeaways

• The circuit court’s decision remains in effect.
• The appellate court provided no written analysis of Zantman’s claims.
• The opinion does not establish a stated rule of law or disclose the grounds for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Zantman’s appeal in the State’s favor, but its lack of factual or legal analysis limits what practitioners can draw from it beyond the affirmance itself.
