Background

David J. Stern appealed a nonfinal order entered by Judge Michele Towbin Singer of the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County.

The Fourth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the nature of the challenged order, the parties’ arguments, or the trial court’s reasoning.

The Court’s Holding

The Fourth District affirmed the nonfinal order.

The court issued a per curiam decision consisting solely of the disposition and provided no legal analysis or explanation. Judges Levine, Conner, and Shaw concurred.

Key Takeaways

  • The challenged nonfinal order remains in effect because the appellate court affirmed it.
  • The opinion establishes no express rule of law because it contains no reasoning.
  • The decision was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Why It Matters

The ruling resolves this interlocutory appeal in favor of CWI-GG RCFL Property Owner, LLC, subject to the rehearing period. Because the opinion does not identify the issue presented or explain the basis for affirmance, its significance beyond the parties and procedural disposition is limited.
