Supreme Court of Florida

In an appeal involving the issue of whether the Jimmy Ryce Act requires a probable cause petition to be supported by sworn proof in the form of an affidavit or live testimony by a mental health professional who has evaluated the individual, the decision of the Fifth District in Alverez v. State, 840 So. 2d 322 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003), is quashed and the matter remanded for reconsideration in light of Kephart v. Hadi, 932 So. 2d 1086 (Fla. 2006).
