PER CURIAM.

The petition for writ of certiorari is granted and the order excluding the public and media is quashed. The trial court sua sponte closed the proceedings without complying with the requirements of an evidentiary hearing under Barron v. Florida Freedom Newspapers, 531 So.2d 113 (Fla. 1988), which was error. We remand for a hearing consistent with Barron.

HERSEY, C.J., and LETTS and WARNER...
