v.

Fla. 4th DCA | 2000-03-22
No. 4D99-4326
WARNER, C.J., DELL and FARMER, JJ., concur.

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The petitioner seeks a writ of habeas corpus granting him a belated appeal of a circuit court order that denied his petition for writ of habeas corpus. He alleges that he is entitled to a belated appeal because the circuit court’s order failed to advise that he had thirty days to appeal that order. For the reasons set forth in Dunbar v. State, 688 So. 2d 993 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), and Jordan v. State, 549 So. 2d 805 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989), we hold that the petitioner is not entitled to a belated appeal and consequently deny the petition.

WARNER, C.J., DELL and FARMER, JJ., concur.

While the statute does actually authorize a default at the advisory hearing in TPR cases,2 courts should ordinarily refrain from determin…

    …FARMER, J. We reverse and remand for a new trial on the issue of child custody. As we did in Webber v. Novelli, 756 So. 2d 164, 165 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000), we hold that the issue of custody should not ordinarily be determined by entering a default against one of the parents. In Webber we said that the best interests of children in custody disputes is not susceptible to default…
