Background
Dan Russell, LLC and Dana Russell Martin appealed a ruling from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. Circuit Judge Carolyn Ruth Bell presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 502023CA011128XXXXMB.
The appellate court’s decision does not describe the parties’ dispute, the claims asserted, the trial court’s reasoning, or the issues raised on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling in a per curiam decision.
The court provided no written reasoning or discussion of the merits. Judges Klingensmith, Shepherd, and Lott concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The circuit court’s ruling remains in place.
- The Fourth District affirmed without explaining its reasoning.
- The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Why It Matters
Because the court issued only a per curiam affirmance, the decision resolves this appeal but supplies no explanation of the governing facts or law. The opinion therefore offers no articulated legal rule for attorneys to apply in other cases.
