It basically means that the appellate court will decide the appeal without the opposing party needing to file a brief (written memorandum setting forth legal arguments).

If your Employee Retirement Income Security Act claim pertains to a pension, yes it is probably a contingent, exempt asset. See Florida Statute 222.21,

On appeal, the United States Court of Appeals affirmed per curium on March 15th. A petition for a writ of certiorari could have been filed in the U.S. Supreme Court, but I don't believe it would be timely if filed now.
