In re Frederick, 508 So. 2d 44 (1987)
12 Fla. L. Weekly 1437; 1987 Fla. App. LEXIS 8666
Anstead, Dell, Gunther
In re Frederick
Opinion of the Court
Reversed. We hold that the provisions of section 744.331(4), Florida Statutes (1985) are mandatory and require an actual hearing to determine competency as outlined in the provisions of the section. The requirement for a hearing may not be waived by counsel for the alleged incompetent. Cf. In re Keene, 343 So.2d 916 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977).
