Fla. 4th DCA | 2002-10-30
No. 4D02-1475
KLEIN, GROSS and TAYLOR, JJ, concur.
829 So. 2d 962 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2002) Positive Treatment
Cited by 6 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse an injunction for protection against repeat violence entered under section 784.046, Florida Statutes (2001), which requires two acts of violence. In this case there was evidence to support only one act of violence against appellant. Although there were some threats issued by appellant after the first act of violence, these threats, which appellee admits he did not take seriously, did not amount to violence within the meaning of the statute. Reversed.

KLEIN, GROSS and TAYLOR, JJ, concur.

After reviewing the record, we conclude that the evidence was insufficient to support the injunction. See Orr v. Koutsogiannis, 829 So. 2d 962 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002).
