Background

Kenzell Williams, proceeding pro se, appealed from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. Circuit Judge Scott Suskauer presided over the underlying case, No. 502014CF012721AXXXMB.

The State was not required to appear in the appeal. The Fourth District’s opinion provides no facts about the underlying criminal case, the issues Williams raised, or the circuit court ruling under review.

The Court’s Holding

The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision. Chief Judge Gerber and Judges Ciklin and Conner concurred.

The court supplied no reasoning or discussion of the merits. The opinion therefore establishes only that the judgment under review was affirmed, not the grounds on which the panel reached that result.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment.
  • The decision was issued per curiam without a written explanation.
  • The opinion was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the circuit court’s judgment in place but offers no analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Because the court did not identify the appellate issues or explain its reasoning, the opinion’s significance is limited to the disposition of Williams’s appeal.
