Sims v. Holloway

Sims v. Holloway
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 27, 2013 · Evander, Orfinger, Sawaya
135 So. 3d 360; 2013 WL 6816616; 2013 Fla. App. LEXIS 20390 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Sims v. Holloway

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Melissa Sims appeals from an order granting her former husband’s motion to change venue. We reverse because Sims was deprived of due process of law when the trial court entered the order without affording Sims the opportunity to be heard on the motion. See J.L.S. v. R.J.L., 708 So.2d 293 (Fla.2d DCA 1998) (order granting change of venue reversed where trial court entered order without notice or hearing). On remand, the parties are entitled to an evidentiary hearing on the motion.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

SAWAYA, ORFINGER and EVANDER, JJ., concur.
