Opinion

No. 90-2895.

April 17, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Indian River County, Joe A. Wild, J.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Jill Hanekamp, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Georgina Jimenez-Orosa, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse and remand because we agree with appellant that the trial court erred in ordering restitution without conducting an evidentiary hearing to resolve the issues of the proper amount of restitution as well as the appellant's ability to pay. See R.F. v. State, 549 So.2d 1169 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989); In the Interest of J.W., 559 So.2d 751 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990).

ANSTEAD and DELL, JJ., and WALDEN, JAMES H., Senior Judge, concur.
