Background

Paul Faustin appealed a nonfinal order entered by Judge Lauren M. Alperstein of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. The appellate opinion does not identify the nature of the underlying dispute or describe the challenged order.

Faustin represented himself on appeal. Alejandra Perez did not appear in the appellate proceeding.

The Court’s Holding

The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s nonfinal order.

The per curiam opinion contains no legal analysis or explanation for the affirmance. Judges Gross, Shepherd, and Shaw concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District left the challenged nonfinal order in place.
  • The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The decision was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves this interlocutory appeal in favor of preserving the circuit court’s order. Because the opinion provides no facts, legal analysis, or stated rule, it offers little guidance beyond the outcome of this particular appeal.
