Seiler v. Stringham

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided October 17, 1990

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1990-10-17

Relies on 450 So. 2d 1195 - Dutilly v. DEPT. OF HEALTH & REHAB. SERVICES · 566 So. 2d 9 - Ferguson v. Williams

Decided 1990-10-17

PER CURIAM.

¶1We reverse this order establishing paternity on the authority of Ferguson v. Williams, 566 So.2d 9 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990) and Dutilly v. Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services, 450 So.2d 1195 (Fla. 5th DCA 1984), both of which hold that although HLA test results are admissible under section 742.12, Florida Statutes (1989), they must be properly authenticated and a proper predicate laid first. The trial court admitted such tests in this case over the objection of appellant to their authenticity.

¶2We thus reverse the order and remand for a new hearing.
