Rumpza v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Dec 21, 1988
534 So. 2d 1251 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1988)

Opinion

No. 88-1729.

December 21, 1988.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Charlotte County; Elmer O. Friday, Judge.

Dennis J. Rehak, Fort Myers, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Joseph R. Byrant, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.


James Rumpza appeals an order of the circuit court denying his petition to seal criminal history records. § 943.058(2), Fla. Stat. (1987). We agree that the petition (which was not contested by the state) was sufficient on its face to warrant the relief requested, and that the trial court failed to offer adequate justification for denying the petition. Thomas v. State, 513 So.2d 163 (Fla. 2d DCA), petition for review denied, 519 So.2d 988 (Fla. 1987). Accordingly, we reverse and direct the trial court to seal the records as requested by Rumpza.

SCHEB, A.C.J., and DANAHY and HALL, JJ., concur.
