BLACK, Judge.
Bret Mayo appeals the order entered in circuit court Case No. 17-DR-179 finding him in indirect criminal contempt for violating the terms of an injunction. For the reasons expressed in this court's decision in Mayo v. Mayo, No. 2D17-3140 (Fla. 2d DCA Dec. 7, 2018), we reverse.1 Reversed.
CASANUEVA and BADALAMENTI, JJ., Concur. 1It is noted that Kerry Mayo, the petitioner, did not initiate a contempt proceeding in circuit court Case No. 17-DR-179. Rather, Ms. Mayo only filed a petition in the related circuit court case, Case No. 17-DR-180. Nonetheless, the court ordered Mayo to show cause why he should not be held in contempt for violating the injunctions entered in Case No. 17-DR-179 and Case No. 17-DR-180. The court and the parties proceeded with the evidentiary hearing as to both circuit court cases, and following the hearing the court entered contempt orders in both circuit court cases. Because this deficiency was not raised by Mayo on appeal, it cannot serve as a basis for this court's reversal.
