Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 20, 2017 · Khouzam, Rothstein, Salario, Youakim
228 So. 3d 701; 2017 WL 4699120 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

S.M.K. v. Department of Children & Families

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

S.M.K., Sr. (“S.M.K.”), appeals an order dismissing a petition for writ of habeas corpus, which this court transferred to the trial court (case number 2D17-423) to determine whether S.M.K. is entitled to a belated appeal from a dependency order that was entered with respect to one of his children, N.K. Because the trial court failed to determine whether S.M.K. is entitled to a belated appeal of the dependency order, we reverse the order dismissing the petition for writ of habeas corpus and remand for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded.

KHOUZAM, SALARIO, and ROTHSTEIN-YOUAKIM, JJ., Concur.
