No appearance or brief for appellee.

Before SCHWELB and REID, Associate Judges, and PRYOR, Senior Judge.

SCHWELB, Associate Judge.

In this case of alleged domestic violence involving an unmarried couple, the trial judge issued a one-year civil protection order (CPO) against the defendant, Bernard Tyree, without permitting Tyree's attorney to cross-examine the complainant, Juanita Evans. Observing that unlike Mr. Tyree, Ms. Evans was not represented by counsel, the judge stated that Tyree "has no right to confront or cross-examine her. This is a civil proceeding."
