No. 4D01-1775.

801 So.2d 216 (2001)

D.D., a child, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

December 5, 2001.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Ellen Griffin, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Maria J. Patullo, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

We affirm the conviction but remand for resentencing as the State agrees we must, because the court erred in imposing an indefinite term of probation. Such a juvenile sentence cannot be longer than the maximum term an adult could serve for the same offense. J.H. v. State, 760 So.2d 250 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000).
