Covington v. STATE, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 15, 2009 · Gersten, Wells, Lagoa
6 So. 3d 728; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 3217; 2009 WL 997160 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Covington v. STATE, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Opinion

ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

WELLS, Judge.

Ronnie Covington appeals from a final default judgment claiming that prior to the entry of that judgment he had received no notice that an administrative complaint had been filed against him. On the Florida Department of Health’s acknowledgement that Covington was not properly served and thus entitled to the hearing that he has requested, we reverse the final order on appeal and remand for a hearing on the merits of the Department’s complaint.
