R.A., a minor, Appellant, v. STATE (2026)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

R.A., a minor, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 4D2025-0742

Decided: January 28, 2026

Daniel Eisinger, Public Defender, and Narine N. Austin, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Mary Elizabeth Johnson, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

R.A., a minor (“Defendant”), appeals the circuit court's order denying her motion for judgment of dismissal. The State filed a confession of error. We have reviewed, and we accept the State's commendable confession of error.

Accordingly, we reverse the circuit court's ruling and remand with instructions to grant Defendant's motion for judgment of dismissal and vacate Defendant's conviction.

Reversed and remanded.

Per Curiam.

Klingensmith, Shaw and Lott JJ., concur.
