C.O., Appellant, v. STATE (1998)

District Court of Appeal of Florida,Fourth District.

C.O., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 97-0898.

Decided: March 11, 1998

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and David McPherrin, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Sylvie Perez Posner, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

We affirm appellant's conviction for loitering and prowling. See State v. Ecker, 311 So.2d 104, 110 (Fla.1975); In re A.R., 460 So.2d 1024, 1024-25 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984).

However, the trial court's adjudication of appellant's delinquency was rendered without consideration of a predisposition report. See State v. Berry, 647 So.2d 830, 832 (Fla.1994); Harris v. State, 633 So.2d 562, 563 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994).

Moreover, there is an absence of specific findings. § 39.052(4)(e)1, Fla.Stat. (1995); J.M. v. State, 692 So.2d 308 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997); M.C. v. State, 687 So.2d 832, 833 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996).

Accordingly, we reverse the adjudication and remand.

PER CURIAM.
