Sandra Leano v. Amy Smith and John Mendez
150 So. 3d 1230; 2014 Fla. App. LEXIS 18848; 2014 WL 6460545
(Southern Reporter, Third Series)
Sandra Leano v. Amy Smith and John Mendez
Opinion
Appellant Sandra Leano challenges two orders: (1) an order dismissing her petition for temporary custody of a minor child by extended family, pursuant to chapter 751, Florida Statutes, and (2) an order issued in connection -with indirect criminal contempt proceedings initiated by the court. The dismissal of Leano’s custody action is affirmed without further comment. The order entered as the result of the contempt proceedings is, however, reversed. The order is tantamount to an order of contempt and was entered absent compliance with the procedural safeguards mandated by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.840.
Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
