Background
Bryan Roberts appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County, where Judge Carlos Augusto Rodriguez presided. Roberts appeared pro se, and Trinity Universal Insurance Company was represented by counsel.
The appellate opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the circuit court’s ruling, the issues Roberts raised, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s decision in a per curiam opinion. Judges May, Forst, and Lott concurred.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the merits. The opinion therefore establishes only that the challenged judgment or order was affirmed.
Key Takeaways
- The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s decision.
- The decision was issued per curiam by Judges May, Forst, and Lott.
- The opinion contains no facts, legal analysis, or explanation for the affirmance.
Why It Matters
Because the court issued an unexplained per curiam affirmance, the opinion offers no guidance about the governing law or the basis for rejecting the appeal. Its immediate effect is to leave the circuit court’s decision intact, subject to disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
