Opinion filed August 5, 2022

Appeal from the Circuit Court
for Volusia County,
Randell H. Rowe, III, Judge.

Michael H. Lambert, and Bryan G.
Lambert, of Lambert Law, Daytona
Beach, for Appellant.

Thomas G. Portuallo, Assistant
County Attorney, Deland, for
Appellee.

PER CURIAM.
      We affirm the risk protection order entered below except as to that

portion of the order requiring Appellant to submit to a chemical dependency

evaluation. The record does not support a basis to order such evaluation.

See § 790.401(3)(f), Fla. Stat. (2021) (“During the hearing, the court must

consider whether a mental health evaluation or chemical dependency

evaluation is appropriate and, if such determination is made, may order such

evaluations, if appropriate.” (emphasis added)).

      AFFIRMED, in part; REVERSED, in part; and REMANDED.

LAMBERT, C.J., EVANDER and HARRIS, JJ., concur.
