Background
Renee Weaver appealed an order from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. The underlying proceeding was heard by Judge Darren Dunifon Shull and docketed as case number 502018DR003419XXXXMB.
Curt Sanchez of The Law Offices of Curt Sanchez, P.A., represented Renee Weaver on appeal. Daniel Weaver did not file an appellate brief. The Fourth District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the order under review, the arguments raised, or the relevant facts.
The Court’s Holding
The Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s ruling. The decision was issued per curiam, with Judges Gross, Levine, and Forst concurring.
The court provided no written reasoning or legal analysis beyond the single-word disposition, “Affirmed.” Accordingly, the opinion does not identify the grounds for affirmance or announce a substantive rule of law. The decision was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Key Takeaways
- The Fourth District affirmed the Palm Beach County circuit court’s ruling.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- The appellee filed no brief, but the court nevertheless affirmed the ruling under review.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s ruling in place. Because the appellate court did not discuss the facts, issues, or governing law, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the underlying family-law dispute or the basis for the court’s decision.
