Background
Saskia Peralta appealed a ruling from the County Court for Florida’s Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. County Court Judge Kathleen E. Angione presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 062023CC005666AXXXNO.
Walter Johnson, individually, and Black Swan Investment Partners were the appellees. The Fourth District’s opinion does not describe the parties’ dispute, the county court’s ruling, the issues raised on appeal, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the county court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.
The court provided no written reasoning or discussion of the merits. The opinion therefore establishes only that the challenged judgment was affirmed and does not disclose the panel’s rationale.
Key Takeaways
- The Fourth District affirmed the county court’s judgment.
- The decision was issued per curiam without a written explanation.
- The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the county court’s judgment in place. Because the appellate court supplied no facts, legal analysis, or explanation, the opinion offers no articulated rule or reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases.
