M.D. v. State

M.D. v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 4, 2000 · Antoon, Dauksch, Harris
751 So. 2d 165; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 984; 2000 WL 126625 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

M.D. v. State

Opinion of the Court

HARRIS, J.

The court was concerned with M.D.’s apparent drug problems and committed him to a high risk residential program over the Department’s recommendation for a moderate risk commitment. The court did not explain why the Department’s recommendation would not meet the needs of M.D. and otherwise failed to justify its departure from the recommendation. We reverse for resentencing. See A.C.N. v. State, 727 So.2d 368 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999).

ANTOON, C.J., and DAUKSCH, J., concur.
