No. 91-496.

May 12, 1992.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Charles Edelstein, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and James Saunders, III, Sp. Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Linda S. Katz, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before HUBBART, BASKIN and COPE, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

T.G. appeals his adjudication of delinquency for obstructing justice by furnishing false information, in violation of section 21-26(A)(3)(a), Code of Metropolitan Dade County. We conclude that there was substantial competent evidence, albeit disputed, from which the trier of fact could conclude that T.G.'s recantation of a false name and birth date came too late, within the meaning of P.P. v. State, 466 So.2d 1140, 1141 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985).

Affirmed.
