Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 17, 2002 · Altenbernd, Blue, Stringer

816 So. 2d 260; 2002 Fla. App. LEXIS 6758; 2002 WL 999453 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

BLUE, Chief Judge.

The father appeals the final order terminating his parental rights that was entered without either a prior determination that the child was dependent as to the father or a case plan. We affirm. The record contains clear and convincing evidence to support the termination of parental rights in accordance with section 39.806(l)(d) and (i), Florida Statutes (1999).

Affirmed.

ALTENBERND and STRINGER, JJ, Concur.
