Background
Kadian Roper appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. Circuit Judge Tim Bailey presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 062017CF007129A88810.
The Fourth District’s opinion does not describe the charges, the facts, the procedural history, or the arguments raised on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.
The court supplied no reasoning or discussion of the issues. Judges Levine, Klingensmith, and Lott concurred, and the decision was designated nonfinal until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Key Takeaways
- The Fourth District affirmed the judgment against Roper.
- The per curiam affirmance contains no explanation of the court’s reasoning.
- The opinion identifies no facts or legal issues and announces no express rule of law.
Why It Matters
The ruling leaves the circuit court’s judgment intact but provides no written analysis for attorneys or lower courts to apply in other cases.
Because the opinion does not identify the appellate claims or explain why they failed, no broader substantive holding can reliably be attributed to the court.
