Opinion

No. 98-3419.

October 13, 1999.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, Martin County; Robert R. Makemson, Judge; L.T. Case No. 98-524 CJA.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Cherry Grant, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Ettie Feistmann, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court's order adjudicating J.A., the appellant, guilty of battery upon a fellow detainee, in violation of Florida Statutes sections 784.03 and 784.082. We remand the case, however, with instructions that the disposition order be corrected to reflect that the adjudication of delinquency followed a hearing, not a guilty plea.

KLEIN, TAYLOR, JJ., and WHITE, ALICE BLACKWELL, Associate Judge, concur.
