Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 10, 2009 · Ramirez, Cortiñas, Lagoa
10 So. 3d 1182; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 7271; 2009 WL 1606454 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

MT v. Department of Children and Families

Opinion

*1183 LAGOA, Judge.

Confession of Error

Based upon the Florida Department of Children and Families’ proper concession of error, we vacate the order of adjudication against the Appellant. Because the trial court erred in failing to appoint the mother trial counsel to represent her at trial as required by section 39.013(9)(a), Florida Statutes (2008), see M.D. v. Dep’t of Children & Family Servs., 6 So.3d 115 (Fla. 2d DCA 2009), we vacate the order of adjudication and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Reversed and remanded.
