Background

Anthony S. Hearn appealed from proceedings in the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County, where Judge Pascale Achille presided over case number 062017DR013097AXXXCE.

Both Anthony Hearn and Quin Hearn represented themselves on appeal. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues raised, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court without a written explanation. The per curiam opinion states only: “Affirmed.”

Chief Judge Gerber and Judges Levine and Klingensmith concurred. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion establishes no stated rule of law or explanation for rejecting the appellant’s challenge.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s ruling.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion does not identify the challenged ruling or disclose the underlying facts, issues, or arguments.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the appellee’s favor, subject to the disposition of any timely motion for rehearing. Its practical significance beyond the parties is limited because the court did not provide facts, legal analysis, or a stated holding on any substantive issue.
