Background
Patrick T. Brockman appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. Circuit Judge Howard Kelly Coates, Jr. presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 502022CF008532AXXXMB.
The Fourth District’s opinion does not describe the charges, facts, procedural history, issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.
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 discussion of the merits. Judges Conner and Klingensmith and Associate Judge Charles A. Schwab concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Fourth District affirmed the judgment below.
- The decision was issued per curiam without a written explanation.
- The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment intact. Because the appellate court supplied no facts, legal analysis, or explanation, the opinion does not identify the issue decided or articulate a rule of law for future cases.
