IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT JULY TERM 2006 J.F., MOTHER OF T.J.C. AND A.C., CHILDREN, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D06-777 DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed September 6, 2006 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Brevard County, Jack Griesbaum, Judge. David T. Young of David T. Young, P.A., Rockledge, for Appellant. Charles D. Peters, Orlando, for Appellee. Thomas Wade Young, Guardian ad Litem. Orlando, for PER CURIAM. We affirm the termination of the parental rights of the mother, J.F., with respect to her children, A.C. and T.J.C. After careful review we conclude that J.F. was properly served with notice of the termination hearing; that there was clear and convincing evidence that termination of J.F. s rights was in the best interest of the children; and that the trial judge properly denied J.F. s motion to set aside default judgment because J.F. failed to satisfy the three-part test set forth in E.S. v. Dep t of Children & Family Servs., 878 So. 2d 493, 496 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004). AFFIRMED. PLEUS, C.J., ORFINGER, and MONACO, JJ., concur. 2
