No. 5D03-4197.

864 So.2d 1291 (2004)

DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Petitioner, v. J.G., a child, Respondent.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

February 13, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles D. Peters, Esq., Orlando, for Petitioner.

No Appearance for Respondent.


PER CURIAM.

We grant the petition for writ of certiorari filed by the Department of Children and Family Services and quash the order awarding custody of respondent, J.G., a child, to the Department, as the order was entered without notice to the Department, which was not a party to the proceeding, and without giving the Department an opportunity to be heard. However, as the child is now in shelter custody, we acknowledge that the issue may be moot.
