Palm Beach Newspapers, Inc. v. Lindsey
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 20, 1989 · Hersey, Letts, Warner
554 So. 2d 22; 1989 Fla. App. LEXIS 7184; 1989 WL 153654 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Palm Beach Newspapers, Inc. v. Lindsey

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The petition for writ of certiorari is granted and the order excluding the public and media is quashed. The trial court sua sponte closed the proceedings without complying with the requirements of an eviden-tiary hearing under Barron v. Florida Freedom Newspapers, 531 So.2d 113 (Fla. 1988), which was error. We remand for a hearing consistent with Barron.

HERSEY, C.J., and LETTS and WARNER, JJ., concur.
