In re INVOLUNTARY PLACEMENT OF Brent RICE. Brent Rice, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Julius J. Aulisio, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Gerald D. Siebens, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Brent Rice challenges an order for involuntary placement in a mental health treatment facility. He first asserts that the State failed to prove that he met the criteria for involuntary placement.

We agree and reverse for further proceedings.
