Background
Elizangela De Lima Ferreira appealed a decision of the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. Circuit Judge Daniel A. Casey presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 062023CA008417AXXXCE.
The Fourth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the parties’ dispute, the trial court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the appellate arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges Forst, Shepherd, and Shaw concurred.
The court provided no written reasoning or discussion of the merits. The opinion stated that it would not become final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Key Takeaways
- The circuit court’s judgment or order was affirmed.
- The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- The opinion was subject to any timely filed motion for rehearing before becoming final.
Why It Matters
The ruling leaves the circuit court’s decision intact. Because the Fourth District did not explain its reasoning or identify the issues presented, the opinion supplies no substantive legal analysis for application in other cases.
