Background

Arthur Lee Harmon, III appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County. Circuit Judge Scott Ira Suskauer presided over the lower-court case, docketed as No. 502023CF008493AXXXMB.

The Fourth District’s opinion does not identify the charges, describe the underlying facts, state the issues raised on appeal, or summarize the parties’ arguments.

The Court’s Holding

The Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.

The court provided no reasoning or legal analysis. Chief Judge Gerber and Judges May and Shaw concurred in the disposition.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fourth District affirmed the judgment against Harmon.
  • The decision was a per curiam affirmance without a written explanation.
  • The opinion establishes no stated reasoning on the facts or legal issues presented in the appeal.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves the circuit court’s judgment intact, subject to disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.

Because the court did not explain its reasoning, the opinion offers no substantive guidance about the legal issues underlying Harmon’s appeal.
