Third District Court of Appeal State of Florida Opinion filed October 7, 2026. Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. ________________ No. 3D26-0105 Lower Tribunal Nos. 2002149603 & 13250017108FC ________________ Malik Lewis, Appellant, vs. State of Florida Department of Revenue, Child Support Program, et al., Appellees. An Appeal from the State of Florida Department of Revenue, Child Support Program. Malik Lewis, in proper person. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and Sarah C. Prieto, Assistant Attorney General (Fort Lauderdale), for appellee State of Florida Department of Revenue, Child Support Enforcement. Before SCALES, C.J., and LOGUE and GOODEN, JJ. PER CURIAM. In this appeal of the Florida Department of Revenue, Child Support Program’s (“DOR”) final administrative child support order, Malik Lewis alleges his due process rights were violated because he did not receive notice of the December 17, 2025 hearing conducted by the Department of Administrative Hearings. The record, however, reveals that on September 29, 2025, a notice of the hearing was sent to Lewis at the address Lewis provided to DOR, and this notice was not returned to the sender. Generally, “[d]ue process does not require the affected person [to] receive notice; it only requires that the government give notice.” Miami-Dade Cnty. v. Wilson, 44 So. 3d 1266, 1270 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010); see Rodriguez v. Dep’t of Bus. & Pro. Regul., 326 So. 3d 796, 799 (Fla. 3d DCA 2021) (holding that agency’s mailing to address of record met due process in administrative proceeding). Affirmed. 2
