Background

Catherine Elizabeth Czyz, proceeding pro se, appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. The circuit court proceeding was assigned to Judge Carolyn Ruth Bell under case number 502024CA000996XXXAMB.

The appellees included Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, Meta Platforms, Inc., and Blogger, Inc. The Fourth District’s opinion does not describe Czyz’s claims, the circuit court’s ruling, the facts underlying the dispute, or the issues presented on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges Ciklin, Conner, and Klingensmith concurred.

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the merits. Accordingly, the opinion establishes only that the judgment or order under review was affirmed; it does not identify the legal ground supporting that result.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
  • The ruling was a per curiam affirmance without a written legal analysis.
  • The opinion does not disclose the underlying facts, claims, appellate issues, or basis for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The decision ends the appeal in the appellees’ favor, subject to disposition of any timely motion for rehearing. Because the court supplied no reasoning, the opinion offers no articulated rule of law or substantive guidance for future disputes.
