Head Matter:
Jordan TROWELL, Appellant, v. Greg CRAWFORD, Appellee.
Case No. 2D16-4880
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
Opinion filed December 29, 2017
Jeremiah Hawkes, Counsel to Sheriff Chris Nocco, New Port Richey, for Appellant.
Greg Crawford, pro se.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We dismiss as moot this appeal from an order granting a temporary injunction against repeat violence. It is apparent that the trial court erred in entering the temporary injunction where the petition failed to allege two incidents of violence, with one occurring within six months of the filing of the petition. See § 784.046(l)(b), Fla. Stat. (2016); Titsch v. Buzin, 59 So.3d 265, 266 (Fla. 2d DCA 2011). However, the court's ultimate dismissal of the petition renders further discussion of the applicable law with regard to injunctions against repeat violence moot. We are unconvinced that the issues raised by the appellant are capable of repetition but evade review such that we must address them in this instance. Cf. Kopelovich v. Kopelovich, 793 So.2d 31, 32 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001). Had the court entered a final judgment on injunction for protection against repeat violence or had the temporary injunction been lawfully entered, we would have likely concluded it necessary to reach the merits of appellant's claims. See id.; Jacquot v. Jacquot, 183 So.3d 1158, 1159 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015).
Dismissed.
