Fla. 4th DCA | 2001-07-11
No. 4D00-2390
POLEN, C.J., WARNER, and GROSS, JJ., concur.
789 So. 2d 494 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2001) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the final default judgment terminating appellant’s parental rights because of her failure to appear at the final hearing. Appellant was served only twenty-four hours prior to the hearing. J.B. v. Florida Department of Children & Family Services, 768 So. 2d 1060 (Fla.2000), holds that where fundamental rights such as termination of parental rights are involved, more than twenty-four hours’ notice of a hearing where such rights could be terminated is required to satisfy procedural due process guarantees.

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.

POLEN, C.J., WARNER, and GROSS, JJ., concur.

See Beniaminov v. Beniaminov, 789 So. 2d 494 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001). The appellant’s failure to provide us with a complete transcript of the testimony impacts upon all of the issues raised by him.
