Summary
In Bass, we relied upon Ramadanovic v. Florida Department of Corrections, 575 So.2d 1333 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991), involving challenges to rules relating to inmate access to legal materials, in which we reversed a similar order and remanded for entry of an order stating with specificity grounds warranting dismissal of the petition, or for further proceedings on the petition pursuant to 120.56(2).
Summary of this case from Bowe v. Florida Department of CorrectionsOpinion
No. 90-2204.
March 13, 1991.
An appeal from an order of the Division of Administrative Hearings.
Frank Bass, pro se, appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Ann Cocheu, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.
Appellant appeals an order of the Director of the Division of Administrative Hearings dismissing his petition challenging certain administrative rules without assigning a hearing officer. See § 120.56(2), Fla. Stat. (1989). We find that the order appealed is unclear as to the grounds for the director's dismissal of the petition, and that meaningful appellate review is thereby precluded. Accordingly, we reverse the order appealed, and remand either for entry of an order stating with specificity grounds warranting dismissal of appellant's petition, or for further proceedings on the petition pursuant to section 120.56(2). See, Ramadanovic v. Department of Corrections, Case No. 90-2257, ___ So.2d ___ (Fla. 1st DCA, Feb. 22, 1991).
REVERSED and REMANDED with directions.
