Background

Carnelle Bray appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. Circuit Judge James Edward Nutt presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 502023CF010426AXXXMB.

The Fourth District’s opinion does not describe the charges, the procedural history beyond the appeal, the arguments raised, or the facts underlying the case.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no reasoning or analysis supporting the affirmance. Judges Ciklin, Conner, and Klingensmith concurred, and the decision was designated nonfinal until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
  • The decision was a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion establishes no stated rationale addressing the facts or legal issues raised on appeal.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the circuit court’s judgment intact. Because the appellate court supplied no factual discussion or legal reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance beyond the outcome of Bray’s appeal.
