Background

Alvin Williams, representing himself, appealed from a decision of the County Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. County Court Judge Michael A. Barnett presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 502025CC008149XXXAMB.

Crown Asset Management, LLC was the appellee. The Fourth District’s opinion does not describe the underlying dispute, the county court’s ruling, the arguments raised on appeal, or the relief Williams sought.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the county court’s decision. The court issued a per curiam disposition consisting only of the word “Affirmed.”

Because the court provided no reasoning, the opinion establishes only that the challenged judgment or order was left in place. It does not identify the legal grounds for affirmance or announce a rule governing the parties’ dispute.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District affirmed the county court’s decision.
  • The appellate court supplied no factual discussion or legal analysis.
  • Chief Judge Gerber and Judges Klingensmith and Lott concurred in the disposition.

Why It Matters

The decision ends this stage of the appeal while leaving the county court’s ruling intact. Because the opinion offers no explanation, it provides no stated rationale for attorneys to apply in other cases.

The disposition was not final until the resolution of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
