Background
Sheila Anne Williams appealed rulings involving Seth Riegel and Konul Riegel from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. Circuit Judge Michael G. Kaplan presided over the underlying case, docketed as No. 062024DR006024AXDVCE.
The Fourth District consolidated the appeals under docket numbers 4D2025-0912 and 4D2025-0913. Its brief opinion does not describe the underlying facts, identify the particular rulings challenged, or recount the parties’ appellate arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s disposition in a per curiam decision. Judges Levine, Klingensmith, and Lott concurred.
Because the opinion consists only of the word “Affirmed,” it provides no reasoning or stated legal basis for the result. The opinion therefore does not establish which arguments the court accepted or rejected.
Key Takeaways
- The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court in both consolidated appeals.
- The court issued a per curiam affirmance without explaining its reasoning.
- The decision was not final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Why It Matters
The decision leaves the circuit court’s disposition intact but supplies no written analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore principally case-specific: it resolves the consolidated appeals in the appellees’ favor without announcing a legal rule or explaining the grounds for affirmance.
