Background

Djumania Joseph appealed from a proceeding in the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. Circuit Judge Jaimie Goodman presided over the lower-court matter, docketed as No. 502024CA002761XXXAMB.

The Fourth District’s opinion does not describe the dispute, the ruling under review, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

In a per curiam decision, the Fourth District affirmed. Judges Levine, Klingensmith, and Lott concurred.

The court provided no analysis or explanation for its decision. The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court without a written explanation.
  • The opinion does not identify the type of lower-court ruling under review or disclose the appellate issues.
  • The decision remains nonfinal until any timely filed rehearing motion is resolved.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves the appeal at the panel level but supplies no reasoning for lawyers or lower courts to apply in other cases. Because the opinion does not describe the underlying ruling or legal issues, no broader substantive holding can be drawn from it.
