Appellant,
v. Case No. 5D18-692
DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND
FAMILIES,
Appellee.
________________________________/
Opinion filed April 24, 2018
Appeal from the Circuit Court
of Orange County,
Daniel Dawson, Judge.
Ryan Thomas Truskoski, of Ryan Thomas
Truskoski, P.A, Orlando, for Appellant.
Kelley Schaeffer, of Children’s Legal
Services, Bradenton, for Appellee.
C. Andrew Roy, of Winderweedle, Haines,
Ward & Woodman, P.A., Winter Park, for
Guardian ad Litem.
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the final judgment terminating Appellant’s parental rights to the minor
child on the two statutory grounds pleaded, but we remand to the trial court to strike its
reference to section 39.806(1)(c), Florida Statutes (2017), in the final judgment as an
additional reason for termination. This was clearly an inadvertent clerical error by the
court, as the Department of Children and Families did not plead section 39.806(1)(c) as
a ground for termination of Appellant’s parental rights nor did it attempt to present
evidence or argument at trial under this statute.
AFFIRMED, but REMANDED for correction of clerical error.
SAWAYA, PALMER and LAMBERT, JJ., concur.
