R.E.C., Father of C.T., A Minor Child, Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES (2022)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

R.E.C., Father of C.T., A Minor Child, Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Appellee.

No. 1D22-0138

Decided: May 12, 2022

Julia H. McLaughlin of Owenby Law, P.A., St. Augustine, for Appellant. Ward L. Metzger, Children's Legal Services, Tallahassee, for Appellee; Sara Elizabeth Goldfarb, Statewide Director of Appeals, and Amanda Victoria Glass, Senior Attorney, Tallahassee, for Guardian ad Litem.

The Court grants the motion to dismiss this case and dismisses the case as moot. See O.I.C.L. v. Florida Dept. of Children & Families, 205 So. 3d 575, 578 (Fla. 2016) (holding that issue of whether the child should be deemed dependent became moot when the child reached the age of majority).

Per Curiam.

Bilbrey, Winokur, and Long, JJ., concur.
