District Court of Appeal of Florida March 28, 2001, Nos. 4D00-3491, 4D00-3492 (M.M. v. Department of Children & Families)

PER CURIAM.

In these consolidated appeals, a mother and father each appeal a final judgment terminating their parental rights based on their failure to appear at a hearing. The department properly concedes that the defects in the notice require reversal and a remand to the trial court for further proceedings, regardless of the merits of any of the other issues on appeal.

We agree.
