KEHOE, Judge.

Appellant, defendant below, brings this appeal from an order entered by the trial ‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍court denying his petition for a writ of coram nobis. In the third point in his petition, appellant alleged that at the time of his trial ‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍he was a minor and that no notice of the trial was sent to his parents or guardian. In our opinion, this allegation presented a question which ‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍should have been determined by the trial court after a hearing. See, e. g., Hallman v. State, 371 So.2d 482 (Fla.1979). Appellant’s other contentions on appeal are without merit. See, ‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍e. g., State v. Webb, 335 So.2d 826 (Fla.1976); Boyd v. County of Dade, 123 So.2d 323 (Fla.1960); and Cayson v. State, 139 So.2d 719 (Fla. 1st DCA 1962). Accordingly, the order appealed is reversed ‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‍and the cause is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Reversed and remanded.
