No. 4D04-4195.

February 15, 2006.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, St. Lucie County, Scott M. Kenney, Judge, L.T. Case No. 562004CJ000882A.

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Susan D. Cline, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Don M. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

ROTHSCHILD, RONALD J., Associate Judge.

The Appellant, J.T., appeals the disposition order that the trial court entered committing him to a low-risk residential program for a second degree misdemeanor despite the Department of Juvenile Justice's recommendation of probation. We agree with the trial court and affirm the disposition.

The case is remanded to the trial court to correct the disposition order to reflect that the term of commitment shall not exceed 60 days or J.T.'s 19th birthday, whichever comes first. The trial court's jurisdiction over J.T. shall be terminated following completion of the commitment.

Affirmed and Remanded to Correct the Disposition Order.

POLEN and MAY, JJ., concur.

Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
