In the Interest of C.W.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 29, 1989 · Frank, Parker, Patterson
553 So. 2d 292; 14 Fla. L. Weekly 2773; 1989 Fla. App. LEXIS 6703; 1989 WL 145527 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

In the Interest of C.W.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is a petition for writ of certiorari to review an order in a dependency action which granted a motion filed by the father and required a four-year old child, alleged to be the victim of sexual abuse by the father, to undergo a physical and psychological examination. After reviewing the record, we can find no compelling reason advanced by the father to support such an intrusion upon this child. State v. Drab, 546 So.2d 54 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989). Accordingly, we grant the petition, quash the trial court’s order, and remand for further proceedings.

FRANK, A.C.J., and PARKER and PATTERSON, JJ., concur.
