State of Florida, Department of Revenue v. Joshua A. Cottrell and Lauren M. Smith
Opinion
IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND Appellant, DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED
v. CASE NO. 1D14-4222
JOSHUA A. COTTRELL and LAUREN M. SMITH,
Appellees.
____________________________/
Opinion filed April 15, 2015.
An appeal from an order of the Division of Administrative Hearings, James H. Peterson, III, Judge.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Toni C. Bernstein, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
No appearance for Appellees.
PER CURIAM.
The Department of Revenue correctly asserts that the Final Administrative
Support Modification Order entered by the Administrative Law Judge was in error
because the subject-matter jurisdiction of Division of Administrative Hearings was
not properly invoked under section 409.2563, Florida Statutes (2014). See Dep’t
of Revenue v. Dove, 152 So. 3d 1278 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015). The order on appeal is vacated, and the case is remanded to the Division of Administrative Hearings with
instructions to enter an order directing the Department of Revenue to begin
modification proceedings under section 409.2563.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
