District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided October 2, 2014.

David B. Salmons , Randall M. Levine , Margaret E. Sheer , and Stephanie Schuster , Washington, DC, were on the brief for appellant.

O.E., pro se.

John S. Moot , Prashina J. Gagoomal , and Angela Kim , Washington, DC, were on the brief for amicus curiae, Domestic Violence Legal Empowerment and Appeals Project and Victim Rights Law Center, in support of appellant.

Before GLICKMAN and EASTERLY, Associate Judges, and FARRELL, Senior Judge.

GLICKMAN, Associate Judge:

J.O. appeals the Superior Court's denial of his petition for a civil protection order (CPO) against O.E. We conclude the trial judge failed to provide a sufficiently clear explanation for his decision and may have relied improperly on O.E.'s testimony about his sexual orientation. Accordingly, we vacate and remand this case to the Superior Court for the judge to reconsider J.O.'s petition.
