Background
Daniel Adams, proceeding without counsel, appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. The circuit court case was before Judge Jeffrey Levenson and carried case number 062024CA014382AXXXCE.
The appellate opinion identifies Pascale Achille and others as appellees. Counsel appeared for appellee Lieutenant Quentin Marion and for appellees Harold Pryor and Pascale Achille. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims, the circuit court’s ruling, or Adams’s arguments on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam ruling. Judges May, Gerber, and Shaw concurred.
The court provided no explanation for its decision and announced no legal rule. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the challenged circuit court judgment or order was left in place.
Key Takeaways
- The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
- The ruling was per curiam and contained no analysis of the facts or legal issues.
- The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Why It Matters
The decision ends the appeal in the appellees’ favor unless further proceedings, such as a timely rehearing motion, alter the result. Because the court issued an unexplained affirmance, the opinion offers no substantive guidance on the underlying dispute or broader Florida law.
