FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D19-2683 _____________________________ O.G., A Child, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________ On appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County. Suzanne Bass, Judge. April 7, 2020 PER CURIAM. O.G. appeals a final disposition order finding him delinquent and committing him to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice for placement in a non-secure residential program. O.G. argues, and we agree, that the trial court erred in making this placement without first requesting a commitment level recommendation from the Department. See K.L.L. v. State, 224 So. 3d 918 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017); B.K.A. v. State, 122 So. 3d 928, 930-31 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013). Accordingly, we AFFIRM the portion of the disposition order adjudicating O.G. delinquent, but we REVERSE the non-secure residential commitment placement and REMAND for further proceedings consistent with K.L.L., B.K.A., and section 985.433(7), Florida Statutes. RAY, C.J., and MAKAR and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and Jasmine Quintera Russell, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Heather Flanagan Ross, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. 2
