Joseph Michael SHIRLEY, Petitioner, v. Elyse SHIRLEY and Ron Cochran as Sheriff of Broward County, Florida, Respondents.
    No. 97-1587
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    May 15, 1997
    Andrew J. Stien of The Law Firm of Andrew J. Stien, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for petitioner.
    Nancy D. Pelosi of Kopelowitz, Saavedra & Pelosi, Fort Lauderdale, for Respondent Elyse Shirley.
    
      Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and David M. Schultz, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for Respondent Ron Cochran as Sheriff of Broward County.
   PER CURIAM.

We grant the petition for writ of habeas corpus. The circuit court failed to follow the procedural requirements set out in Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.840 for indirect criminal contempt, or the procedural requirements for civil contempt found in Bowen v. Bowen, 471 So.2d 1274 (Fla.1985); Stephenson v. Harden, 682 So.2d 1198 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996); and In re Getty, 427 So.2d 380, 382 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983). We quash the contempt order without prejudice to the circuit court renewing the contempt proceedings, following the appropriate procedures.

PETITION GRANTED.

POLEN, STEVENSON and GROSS, JJ., concur.
