Fla. 3d DCA | 2008-04-30
No. 3D07-2119
Before GREEN, SUAREZ, and SALTER, JJ.
981 So. 2d 553 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2008)

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Scott Margules, a member of The Florida Bar, appeals a circuit court order adjudicating and sentencing him in direct criminal contempt of the circuit court.

Based upon the appellee’s confession of error that (1) the alleged false testimony did not have an obstructive effect and (2) the circuit court did not have judicial knowledge of the falsity of the testimony, we reverse the order below and remand this matter to the trial court with instructions to vacate the order. See Diaz v. State, 845 So. 2d 336, 336 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003); D.V. v. State, 817 So. 2d 1098, 1099 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002). Reversed and remanded with instructions.
