McCallister v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 18, 1997 · Celeste, Dell, Muir, Stevenson
695 So. 2d 856; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 6702; 1997 WL 330499 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

McCallister v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Ronald Jay MeCallister appeals the trial court’s denial of his petition for a name change without an evidentiary hearing. The State correctly concedes that appellant’s petition is facially valid and that he is entitled to an evidentiary hearing. Accordingly, we reverse and remand with directions to the trial court to grant appellant an evidentiary hearing on his petition for a name change. See Hoyos v. Singletary, 639 So.2d 631 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994).

REVERSED and REMANDED.

DELL and STEVENSON, JJ., and MUIR, CELESTE H., Associate Judge, concur.
