FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, ET AL., APPELLEES

Fla. 1st DCA | 2008-07-24
No. 1D08-1359
BARFIELD, WEBSTER, and LEWIS, JJ., concur.
986 So. 2d 661 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (2008) Positive Treatment

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The Guardian Ad Litem Program appeals an order of the circuit court which denied a petition for termination of parental rights of the father and which placed the child in a permanent guardianship. Appellee Department of Children and Families has filed a notice that it will not file an answer brief and a request for remand to the trial court for entry of findings, conceding that the order does not comply with Florida Rule of Juvenile Procedure 8.260(a), which requires that orders of the court be reduced to writing and contain specific findings of fact and conclusions of law. We treat this as a concession of error, find it to be proper, and reverse and remand to the circuit court for further proceedings.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

BARFIELD, WEBSTER, and LEWIS, JJ., concur.
