J.L., Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES (1997)

District Court of Appeal of Florida,Fourth District.

J.L., Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES, Appellee.

No. 97–1407.

Decided: November 26, 1997

Frank A. Kreidler, Lake Worth, for appellant. Karen Martin, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

AFFIRMED.

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

The points raised on rehearing were not properly preserved in the trial court. Even if preserved, we would deem the errors, if any, harmless in view of the record evidence supporting the trial court's termination of parental rights. Finally, we find no merit in appellant's argument that the trial court should have conducted a hearing on appellee's alleged discovery violation pursuant to Richardson v. State, 246 So.2d 771 (Fla.1971). Appellant did not ask for a Richardson hearing. More importantly, the rules of juvenile procedure do not provide for a Richardson hearing. See Fla. R. Juv. P. 8.245(g). Accordingly, we deny appellant's motion for rehearing.

PER CURIAM.

DELL, STEVENSON and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
