979 So.2d 1160 (2008)

R.B., Father of D.B. and D.B., Children, Appellant,
v.
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Appellee.

No. 1D07-5705.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

April 21, 2008.

Patricia L. Parker of Parker & DuFresne, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellant.

David F. Elder, CLS Managing Attorney, Department of Children and Families, Jacksonville, and Susan W. Fox, Fox & Loquasto, P.A., Tampa, for Appellee.

Annette M. Lizardo, Guardian ad Litem Program, Orlando, for Guardian ad Litem.

*1161 PER CURIAM.

The father seeks review of a final order terminating his parental rights. The Department correctly concedes that there is no competent substantial evidence to support the termination of parental rights pursuant to sections 39.806(1)(c) and 39.806(1)(f), Florida Statutes (2007). See In re J.B., 923 So.2d 1201, 1206-07 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006); C.B. v. Dep't of Children & Families, 874 So.2d 1246, 1253-54 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004); In re T.B., 819 So.2d 270, 272 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002); In re J.D.C., 819 So.2d 264, 267 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002). Accordingly, we reverse the termination of the father's parental rights and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

In re J.B. 2D04-2134 · 2nd DCA 2006Termination reversed: no clear and convincing proof of abandonment, threat to the child, or case plan failure, since incarceration alone was the obstacle.
C.B. v. Department of Children & Families 4D03-4395 · 4th DCA 2004Termination reversed: incarceration alone was not abandonment since the mother kept asking about the child, and the finding that services would be futile was speculation.
In re T.B. 2D01-753 · 2nd DCA 2002Termination of an incarcerated father's rights reversed: no plan tasks, no willful abandonment, incarceration statute inapplicable, and best-interest findings ignored a willing relative placement.
In re J.D.C. 2D01-2805 · 2nd DCA 2002Termination of the incarcerated father's rights reversed because past incarceration, no proven harm, and no proven abandonment failed the statutory grounds; DCF must consider a case plan.
