Background

Lazaro Alexey Rodriguezsantamaria appealed from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. Circuit Judge James Nutt presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 502023CF003076AXXXMB.

The appellate court’s decision does not describe the underlying facts, charges, rulings challenged, or arguments raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

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

The court issued a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation. Judges Forst, Shepherd, and Shaw concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
  • The decision provides no explanation of the court’s reasoning and identifies no specific appellate issue.
  • The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the circuit court’s judgment in place. Because the Fourth District supplied no factual discussion or legal analysis, the opinion does not announce a stated rule of law or explain how the court resolved any particular issue.
