Background

Weland Bourne appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. Circuit Judge Keathan B. Frink presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 062023CA001280AXXXCE.

The Fourth District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the trial 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 decision in a per curiam disposition.

The court provided no written reasoning or discussion of the merits. Judges Levine, Klingensmith, and Lott concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s decision remains in place.
  • The appellate court affirmed without explaining its reasoning.
  • The disposition was not final until resolution of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Why It Matters

Because the court issued only a per curiam affirmance, the opinion resolves this appeal but supplies no analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. The decision also does not disclose the substantive legal issue presented.
