Bernuth v. Bernuth
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 25, 1998 · John, Patterson, Scheb, Whatley
725 So. 2d 381; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 14854; 1999 WL 2561 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Bernuth v. Bernuth

Opinion of the Court

PATTERSON, Acting Chief Judge.

David Bernuth appeals from the order which denies his request for visitation with his eight-year-old daughter in the state prison where he is serving a fifty-year sentence. We affirm. The trial court did not have the authority to order visitation in the prison. *382See Singletary v. Carpenter, 705 So.2d 110, 111 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998) (holding that the regulation of prison visitation lies wholly within the Department of Corrections’ authority).

Affirmed.

WHATLEY, J., and SCHEB, JOHN M., Senior Judge, Concur.
