Background

Brenton Reshard Heck appealed from a proceeding involving the Florida Department of Revenue’s Child Support Program and Elschamma Sophia Deliard. The appeal arose from Child Support Program Case No. 2002168479, Depository No. 06250019130CA, and Division of Administrative Hearings Case No. 25-006293CS.

Heck represented himself on appeal. The Department of Revenue appeared through the Florida Attorney General’s Office. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the administrative ruling, or the arguments raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the decision under review in a per curiam opinion.

The court provided no reasoning, addressed no specific legal issue, and announced no rule of law. Judges May, Ciklin, and Forst concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District affirmed the child-support decision under review.
  • The per curiam opinion contains no factual discussion or legal analysis.
  • The decision was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the underlying child-support determination in place. Because the court issued an unexplained affirmance, the opinion offers no guidance on the merits of the parties’ dispute or the legal basis for the result.
