Chizh v. Chizh

We reverse the trial court’s order summarily denying without prejudice appellant’s petition for injunction for protection against domestic violence. See Sanchez v. State, 785 So.2d 672 (Fla, 4th DCA 2001).1 As this Court held fifteen years ago in Sanchez, the trial judge’s summary denial of the petition without a hearing and without providing any explanation as to how the allegations are insufficient is improper. Id. at 677 (explaining that “where the trial court’s action is based on a finding that the allegations are insufficient, the trial court must give a specific basis for that finding”).
