Garmon v. Garmon
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 15, 2006 · Israel, Klein, Reyes, Stone
920 So. 2d 209; 2006 Fla. App. LEXIS 1873; 2006 WL 348487 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Garmon v. Garmon

Opinion of the Court

KLEIN, J.

The day before the final hearing in her dissolution case, appellant’s counsel notified the court that he had just been informed that a criminal case in which he was counsel was going to trial at the same time. Notwithstanding that Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.052 provides that where there are calendar conflicts, criminal cases prevail over civil cases, the court tried the case without the presence of appellant or her counsel. We reverse for a new trial.

STONE, J. and REYES, ISRAEL U., Associate Judge, concur.
