Background

David F. Damerau appealed from proceedings in the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. Circuit Judge Michele Towbin Singer presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 062018CA021272AXXXCE.

The Fourth District consolidated appeals numbered 4D2025-2365 and 4D2025-3353. The opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s rulings, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the merits. Judges May, Gerber, and Shaw 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 disposition.
  • The consolidated appeals ended in a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion does not identify the substantive claims, appellate issues, or basis for affirmance.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the circuit court’s disposition intact, but the absence of a written analysis means the opinion offers attorneys no explanation of how the appellate court evaluated the underlying issues.

Any assessment of the dispute’s substantive significance would require review of the circuit court record and the appellate briefs, because those matters are not described in the opinion.
