M.G. v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 2, 1990 · Cobb, Cowart, Goshorn
564 So. 2d 630; 1990 Fla. App. LEXIS 5696 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

M.G. v. State

Opinion of the Court

COBB, Judge.

The trial judge entered a disposition order directing that M.G., a child, pay restitution “for and on behalf of the victim.” Unfortunately, the amount of that restitution was not included in the order. This determination cannot be delegated to a probation officer. Shipley v. State, 528 So.2d 902 (Fla. 1988). In point of fact, the order does not purport to delegate this responsibility; rather, the amount of restitution appears to have been inadvertently omitted from the order.

REVERSED AND REMANDED FOR FURTHER PROCEEDINGS CONSISTENT HEREWITH.

COBB, COWART and GOSHORN, JJ., concur.
