The case, filed in Broward County, Florida, closed on August 21, 2026 without a ruling on the underlying allegations
A months-long legal dispute between two figures well known in South Florida’s Haitian media and music scene has come to a close without either side securing a courtroom victory on the merits.
Guy Webern Guerrier — CEO of Guy Wewe Network, a prominent Haitian multimedia platform — filed a Petition for Injunction for Protection Against Stalking against Dwidjy Belton, publicly known as Manzè Kapwaz, in Broward County Circuit Court on May 20, 2026. The court granted a temporary injunction the same day, which barred Belton from contacting Guerrier and from coming within 500 feet of his listed residence or workplace, ordered the surrender of any firearms, ammunition, or concealed weapons permits, and scheduled a final hearing for June 1, 2026 before Circuit Judge Stefanie C. Moon.
A Contested Fee Motion
On July 2, 2026, Belton’s attorneys — Shlomi Presser of the Rossen Law Firm — filed a Motion for Attorney’s Fees under Florida Statute 57.105, arguing the underlying petition was frivolous. The motion contended Guerrier’s filing contained factual misrepresentations, was not supported by the material facts necessary to establish the claim, and amounted to bad-faith litigation. Under Florida law, attorney fees in stalking and domestic-violence injunction cases can only be awarded under this statute if a court finds, by clear and convincing evidence, that a party knowingly made a false statement on a material matter — a standard established following the Florida Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling in Lopez v. Hall and a subsequent 2019 legislative amendment extending fee-shifting exposure to these types of protective-order cases.
As HMI Radio A reported, the case’s original June 1 hearing was postponed at the defense’s request, with the temporary injunction remaining in effect in the meantime, and a new hearing date set for August 21, 2026.
The August 21 Resolution
At that hearing, both matters were resolved without a substantive ruling on the underlying allegations:
- Guerrier’s stalking injunction petition was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice — meaning he chose to end the case himself, and, because it was dismissed “with prejudice,” he cannot refile the same claim in the future.
- Belton’s attorney’s fee motion was withdrawn by the respondent, meaning the court never ruled on whether Guerrier’s original filing met the “knowingly false” standard required for sanctions under F.S. 57.105.
Both orders were signed by Judge Moon and entered the same day, closing the case with neither side’s core allegations tested or resolved by the court.
What This Means
Because both the injunction and the fee motion were resolved through withdrawal rather than a judicial finding, the case leaves no court determination on the merits of either side’s claims — Guerrier’s original stalking allegations were never adjudicated, and Belton’s contention that those allegations were knowingly false was never ruled on either. In practical terms, the temporary injunction is dissolved along with the case’s dismissal, and neither party owes the other anything as a result of this litigation.
