Opinion

No. 1D99-4709.

Opinion filed November 6, 2000.

An appeal from Circuit Court for Duval County, Thomas Oakley, Judge.

Noel G. Lawrence, of Law Offices of Noel G. Lawrence, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellant.

Frank J. Tassone of Tassone Eler, Jacksonville, for Appellee.


The appellant challenges an order by which his parental rights were terminated. Because the record reveals that the appellant was not fully informed of his right to counsel at the dependency hearing, we reverse the appealed order. See In the Interest of D.P., 595 So.2d 62 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991); Bellflower v. Department of Health Rehabilitative Services, 578 So.2d 827 (Fla. 5th DCA 1991).

Miner and Allen, JJ., and Smith, Larry G., Senior Judge, Concur.
