MEMORANDUM DECISION - NOT FOR PUBLICATION

KIRSCH, Judge B.C. appeals the trial court’s order requiring him to register as a sex offender contending that the order was premature and was not supported by clear and convincing evidence. The State concedes that the order is premature and should be vacated. A sex offender registry hearing for a juvenile may be conducted only after the juvenile has been released from a juvenile detention facility or discharged from a secure private facility. B.W. v. State, 909 N.E.2d 471, 477 (Ind. Ct. App. 2009). Here, the trial court ordered B.C. placed in Wernle Children’s facility, a secure private facility. He has not been released from the facility, and the trial court order is premature. We vacate the trial court’s registration order and remand with instructions.

Vacated and remanded.

NAJAM, J., and MAY, J., concur.
