The trial court denied Appellants petition for a name change based upon a determination that Appellant verbally “requested” that the court deny his petition. As the court did not reach the merits of Appellants effort to have his former name restored (the denial of the petition upon Appellants request was akin to a voluntary dismissal), Appellant is not estopped from filing a new petition for a name change, per section 68.07, Florida Statutes. Affirmed.
Per Curiam.
May, Damoorgian and Forst, JJ., concur.
