Janvier Villars, in proper person.
Law Office of Steven B. Katz, P.A., d/b/a SBK Legal, and Steven B.

Before LOGUE, GORDO and BOKOR, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Villars v. Buckley Towers Condo. Inc., 433 So. 3d 1021,
1021 (Fla. 3d DCA 2026) (โVillars raises a myriad of issues on appeal, but
none vary the conclusion that he failed to file a responsive pleading to the
complaint, the trial court afforded the parties notice and an opportunity to be
heard, and the Association established the outstanding assessments by way
of affidavit with attachment. Accordingly, we discern no reversible error and
affirm the judgment under review.โ); Fla. Wellness & Rehab. Ctr., Inc. v. Mark
J. Feldman, P.A., 276 So. 3d 884, 889 (Fla. 3d DCA 2019) (โThe law of the
case doctrine applies where successive appeals are taken in the same case.
It provides that questions of law decided on appeal . . . govern the case in
the same court and the trial court, through all subsequent stages of the
proceedings.โ (quotation omitted)).
