PER CURIAM.
Norman Leigh and his counsel, Mandy Leigh, appeal from the circuit court's order imposing sanctions. We reverse because the circuit court issued the sanctions order without notice or the opportunity to be heard. See Celebrity Cruises, Inc. v. Fernandes, 149 So. 3d 744, 749 (Fla. 3d DCA 2014) (reversing sanctions where there “was no hint that any sanctions were contemplated or were to be imposed"). Further, at the time the sanctions order was rendered, no competent substantial evidence supported imposing sanctions.
Reversed.
