Background

Alex Mistivar, proceeding without counsel, appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. Circuit Judge Jeffrey Richard Levenson presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 062025CA002752AXXXCE.

The appellate opinion identifies the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, Detective Lisa Almanza Londono, Sergeant Neil Dodge, and Broward County as appellees. It does not describe the underlying facts, claims, challenged ruling, or arguments raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the issues. Judges Levine and Klingensmith and Associate Judge Caryn Siperstein concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The circuit court’s judgment remains in place.
  • The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
  • The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Why It Matters

The decision resolves Mistivar’s appeal in the appellees’ favor but supplies no substantive analysis for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases. Because the court did not identify the issues presented or its reasons for affirmance, the opinion’s significance is principally limited to the parties and the disposition of this case.
