C.B. v. State
C.B. v. State
Opinion of the Court
C.B. appeals an order of restitution entered on April 6,1994. We reverse the order since the trial court failed to order restitution or reserve jurisdiction to do so at the time of the disposition order.
On December 3, 1993, C.B. pled guilty to battery in violation of section 784.03, Florida Statutes (1991). Thereafter, on December 8, 1993, the court withheld adjudication and ordered the juvenile to enter and complete juvenile arbitration. The court did not order restitution or reserve jurisdiction to do so. Almost four months later, the court held a restitution hearing where it assessed $127.47 in restitution.
Since the court did not order restitution at sentencing, it could not later modify the sentence to include restitution. We reverse and vacate the order of restitution. Our decision moots the appellant’s other issue.
