In the Interest of C.J. and D.J., Children.

J.C., Appellant, v. Department of Children and Family Services, Appellee.

No. 2D02-2020.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

January 24, 2003.

J.L. "Ray" LeGrande of LeGrande & LeGrande, P.A., Fort Myers, for Appellant.

William Byrne Isaacs, Port Charlotte, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

J.C., the mother of C.J. and D.J., challenges the trial court's order terminating her parental rights after she failed to personally appear at an advisory hearing. As the Department of Children and Family Services properly concedes, J.C. did not receive proper written notice of the advisory hearing as required by section 39.801(3)(a), Florida Statutes (2000). Therefore, we reverse the termination of J.C.'s parental rights and remand for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded.

ALTENBERND, CASANUEVA, and SALCINES, JJ., Concur.
