CALVIN ELVIN COUNSIL,
Appellant,
v.
ZEIDA ANDERSON,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County.
Tyrie Boyer, Judge.
December 18, 2018
PER CURIAM.
Appellant seeks review of the order extending a temporary
injunction for protection against domestic violence for 90 days. We
reverse because there was no factual basis to enter or extend the
injunction because, as the trial court orally found, there had been
no violence between the parties. 1 Accordingly, even though the
1
Appellant did not challenge the legal basis for extending the
temporary injunction, so we need not decide that issue. However,
for the trial court’s benefit in subsequent cases, we note that
“[s]ection 741.30 ‘does not provide for the issuance of a series of
temporary injunctions in lieu of a permanent injunction.’” Dietz v.
Dietz,
127 So. 3d 1279, 1280 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013) (quoting Bacchus
v. Bacchus,
108 So. 3d 712, 716 (Fla. 5th DCA 2013)); see also §
injunction has now expired, we remand for entry of an order
vacating the injunction. See Pryor v. Pryor,
141 So. 3d 1279, 1280
(Fla. 1st DCA 2014) (explaining that domestic violence injunctions
are an exception to the usual rules of mootness because of the
collateral consequences that flow from such injunctions) (quoting
Rodman v. Rodman,
48 So. 3d 1022 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010)).
REVERSED and REMANDED with instructions
LEWIS, WETHERELL, and WOLF, JJ., concur.
