DAVID CHRISTOPHER BERNUTH, APPELLANT,
v.
REBECCA LYNN BERNUTH, APPELLEE

Fla. 2d DCA | 1998-11-25
No. 97-03797
WHATLEY, J., and SCHEB, JOHN M., Senior Judge, Concur.
725 So. 2d 381 Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (1998)

Opinion of the Court
PATTERSON, Acting Chief Judge.

PATTERSON, Acting Chief Judge.

David Bernuth appeals from the order which denies his request for visitation with his eight-year-old daughter in the state prison where he is serving a fifty-year sentence. We affirm. The trial court did not have the authority to order visitation in the prison. See Singletary v. Carpenter, 705 So. 2d 110, 111 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998) (holding that the regulation of prison visitation lies wholly within the Department of Corrections’ authority).

Affirmed.

WHATLEY, J., and SCHEB, JOHN M., Senior Judge, Concur.
