Background

Stephen J. Byers appealed an order from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. Circuit Judge Gerard Joseph Curley, Jr. presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 502023CA012131XXXXMB.

The Fourth District’s opinion does not describe the parties’ dispute, the claims asserted, the trial court’s reasoning, or the specific order under review.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision.

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. Judges Ciklin, Shepherd, and Lott concurred, and the decision was designated nonfinal pending disposition of any timely motion for rehearing.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District left the circuit court’s ruling in place.
  • The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the underlying facts or legal issues.
  • The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves the appeal in Antiquers Aerodrome’s favor but supplies no written legal analysis. Because the opinion does not identify the issues presented or explain the basis for affirmance, no broader substantive rule can reliably be drawn from it.
