Peretz v. State

Florida District Courts of Appeal
Peretz v. State, 710 So. 2d 754 (1998)
1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 5962; 1998 WL 264093
Gunther, Klein, Warner

Peretz v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Reversed. Because a transcript of this involuntary commitment hearing cannot be produced due to technological failings of the recording equipment at the hearing, and neither the trial court nor the attorneys are able to reconstruct the record of proceedings, a new hearing must be conducted. See Delap v. State, 350 So.2d 462, 463 (Fla. 1977). The state has conceded that a remand is appropriate for that purpose.

GUNTHER, WARNER and KLEIN, JJ., concur.
