Background
Jeffrey A. Simmons appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County. Circuit Judge George Odom, Jr. presided over the underlying case, numbered 062020CF006241A88810.
The Fourth District Court of Appeal’s opinion does not describe the charges, the trial-court proceedings, the issues Simmons raised, or the parties’ arguments.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth District affirmed the circuit court’s judgment in a per curiam decision.
The court provided no reasoning or discussion of the merits. Judges May and Levine and Associate Judge Caryn Siperstein concurred in the disposition.
Key Takeaways
- The Fourth District affirmed the judgment under review.
- The opinion states no facts, legal issues, or rationale for the decision.
- The decision 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 written analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Its significance is therefore limited to the disposition of Simmons’s appeal.
