Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The appellant filed an amended petition to change his name. The trial court dismissed the petition with prejudice, finding it to be legally insufficient. We reverse and hold that the amended petition sufficiently, though minimally, contains the allegations required by section 68.07, Florida Statutes (1993).

Reversed. Amended petition reinstated.1

DANAHY, A.C.J., and FRANK and NORTHCUTT, JJ., concur. . Section 68.07, Florida Statutes (1994), is not applicable to this case.
