Background

David Charles Sussman appealed from the Circuit Court for Volusia County, where Judge Dennis Craig presided. The appellate opinion identifies two case numbers and two lower-tribunal case numbers but does not describe the underlying proceedings, claims, or rulings.

Sussman was represented by counsel and also appeared pro se. The State of Florida appeared as appellee. The opinion does not identify the arguments raised on appeal.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s disposition in a per curiam opinion.

The court cited Diaz v. Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC, Georges v. Insurance Technicians, Inc., and Glatstein v. City of Miami. The opinion did not separately explain how those authorities applied to Sussman’s appeals.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth District affirmed the circuit court’s disposition.
  • The per curiam opinion cited three Florida appellate decisions.
  • The opinion does not disclose the nature of the underlying proceedings or the appellate issues.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s disposition in place. Because the opinion provides no factual or procedural discussion beyond identifying the appeal and citing three authorities, its significance should not be extended beyond the affirmance and the precedents expressly referenced.
