Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, St. Lucie County; Burton C. Connor, Judge; L.T. No. 98-655-DL11.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Ian Seldin, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, M.E. was adjudicated delinquent on a charge of possession of less than twenty grams of cannabis. Appellant appeals the departure sentence imposed by the trial court. We affirm the trial court's disposition but remand to the trial court to correct the written disposition order to include a term limit not to exceed one year which is the maximum punishment for this misdemeanor of the first degree. See M.C.P. v. State, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D2341 (Fla. 1st DCA Oct. 15, 1998).

Affirmed and remanded for entry of corrected disposition order.
