Dorvil v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1988-07-22

Relies on 485 So. 2d 409 - Johnson v. Feder

Decided 1988-07-22

THREADGILL, Judge.

¶1Appellant, Jean I. Dorvil, appeals the trial court’s order denying his motion for examination and hearing following his commitment to a state mental hospital. We reverse.

¶2The record shows and the state agrees that the appellant was committed to HRS for involuntary hospitalization following a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity in a non-jury trial. The state also agrees that the appellant was entitled to a hearing and to have experts appointed to examine the appellant relative to his continued involuntary hospitalization. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.218 (1985); Johnson v. Feder, 485 So.2d 409 (Fla.1986).

¶3Accordingly, we reverse the order denying examination and hearing and remand for proceedings consistent with Rule 3.218.

¶4Reversed and remanded.

CAMPBELL, C.J., and SCHEB, J., concur.
