Sandra LEANO, Appellant, v. Amy SMITH and John Mendez, Appellees.
    No. 4D14-1519.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Nov. 19, 2014.
    Kathleen K. Pena of Legal Aid Services of Broward County, Inc., Plantation, for appellant.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant Sandra Leano challenges two orders: (1) an order dismissing her petition for temporary custody of a minor child by extended family, pursuant to chapter 751, Florida Statutes, and (2) an order issued in connection -with indirect criminal contempt proceedings initiated by the court. The dismissal of Leano’s custody action is affirmed without further comment. The order entered as the result of the contempt proceedings is, however, reversed. The order is tantamount to an order of contempt and was entered absent compliance with the procedural safeguards mandated by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.840.

Affirmed in part and reversed in part.

DAMOORGIAN, C.J., STEVENSON and GROSS, JJ., concur.
