Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County, in two consolidated criminal cases
Summary
The Fourth District Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's rulings in two consolidated criminal cases brought by the State of Florida against Hector Calderon. The appeal was taken from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County. The appellate court issued a brief per curiam decision affirming the lower court's disposition without published opinion; the decision remains subject to a timely motion for rehearing. No additional reasoning or factual discussion appears in the opinion.
Issue Decided
- Whether the trial court's rulings in the two criminal cases should be reversed on appeal
Court's Reasoning
The appellate court issued a per curiam affirmance without an accompanying opinion, indicating it found no reversible error in the trial court's proceedings or rulings. Because the court did not publish reasoning, the affirmance stands as a determination that the appellant's arguments lacked merit. The decision is subject to change only if a timely motion for rehearing is filed and granted.
