Singletary v. Alvarado
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 6, 1998 · Green, Patterson, Whatley
725 So. 2d 1152; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 14055; 1998 WL 770618 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Singletary v. Alvarado

Opinion of the Court

WHATLEY, Judge.

The Department of Corrections appeals an order directing that Rubin Alvarado, a prisoner convicted of sexual battery on a child under the age of twelve and lewd and lascivious assault, be allowed visitation privileges with his children.

As Alvarado appears to recognize, “regulation of prison visitation lies wholly within the authority of the DOC.” Singletary v. Carpenter, 705 So.2d 110, 111 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998).

Accordingly, we quash the order appealed.

PATTERSON, A.C.J., and GREEN, J., concur.
