Background

Garry Pierre appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. Circuit Judge Sarah Willis presided below in case number 502016CF007697AXXXMB.

Pierre represented himself on appeal. The State of Florida was not required to appear.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning or identifying the issues Pierre raised. Chief Judge Gerber and Judges Levine and Lott concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
  • The opinion provides no facts, legal analysis, or explanation for the disposition.
  • The decision was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the circuit court’s decision in place, but its summary nature provides no articulated reasoning for use in evaluating other cases.
