Martin v. Hickey
Opinion
Prentice MARTIN, Appellant,
v.
Jerry C. HICKEY, Appellee.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Prentice Martin, in proper person.
No appearance for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and FLETCHER and SHEVIN, JJ.

Stat. (1997); Hixson v. Hixson, 698 So.2d 639 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997), and is therefore
Reversed.
