Background
David Charles Sussman appealed from rulings of the Circuit Court for Volusia County, where Circuit Judge Dennis Craig presided. The opinion identifies two appellate case numbers, 5D2025-0201 and 5D2025-0486, and two lower-tribunal case numbers, 2022-11151-CIDL and 2024-12898-CIDL.
The Fifth District’s brief opinion does not describe the underlying facts, the nature of the circuit court proceedings, the rulings challenged, or the arguments raised on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s rulings. The court issued its decision per curiam and provided no factual discussion or analysis.
The court cited Diaz v. Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC, Georges v. Insurance Technicians, Inc., and Glatstein v. City of Miami. The opinion did not explain how those authorities applied to Sussman’s appeals. Judges Lambert, Boatwright, and Kilbane concurred.
Key Takeaways
- The Fifth District affirmed the rulings under review.
- The opinion provides no underlying facts, identifies no appellate issue, and offers no explanation beyond citations to three cases.
- The decision was per curiam, with Judges Lambert, Boatwright, and Kilbane concurring.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s rulings in place but supplies little guidance beyond the authorities cited. Because the opinion does not identify the nature of the proceedings or the issues presented, broader conclusions about its substantive reach are not supported by the text.
The opinion states that it is not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.330 or 9.331.
