819 So. 2d 254 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2002)

Opinion

No. 1D01-2742.

June 20, 2002.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Santa Rosa County. Marci L. Goodman, Judge.

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender; P. Douglas Brinkmeyer, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General; Alan R. Dakan, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


In this juvenile delinquency appeal, we vacate the amended disposition orders entered, and remand with directions that the trial court enter a separate order for each offense, rather than each case. E.g., K.L.P. v. State, 783 So.2d 336 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001) (and cases cited therein); J.M.J. v. State, 742 So.2d 261, 263 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997). Because it appears that appellant had served the maximum commitment permitted by law for the second-degree misdemeanor offenses before the second affidavit of violation of probation was filed, see § 985.231(1)(d), Fla. Stat. (1999), the trial court may not enter orders relating to those offenses. Appellant need not be present for these purely ministerial acts.

DISPOSITION ORDERS VACATED and REMANDED, with directions.

BARFIELD, WEBSTER and BENTON, JJ., concur.
