Rumpza v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 21, 1988 · Danahy, Hall, Scheb
534 So. 2d 1251; 14 Fla. L. Weekly 156; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 5676; 1988 WL 137219 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Rumpza v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

James Rumpza appeals an order of the circuit court denying his petition to seal criminal history records. § 943.058(2), Fla. Stat. (1987). We agree that the petition (which was not contested by the state) was sufficient on its face to warrant the relief requested, and that the trial court failed to offer adequate justification for denying the petition. Thomas v. State, 513 So.2d 163 (Fla. 2d DCA), petition for review denied, 519 So.2d 988 (Fla. 1987). Accordingly, we reverse and direct the trial court to seal the records as requested by Rumpza.

SCHEB, A.C.J., and DANAHY and HALL, JJ., concur.
