A.J.Y. v. State
District Court of Appeal of Florida
1Opinion of the Court
FRANK, Acting Chief Judge.
A.J.Y. was committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice for an indeterminate period after having been found guilty of aggravated assault. A juvenile commitment, however, may not exceed the maximum statutory term of imprisonment applicable to adult sentencing for a given offense. R.H. v. State, 549 So.2d 742 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989). Thus we remand for the trial court to modify AJ.Y.’s commitment to reflect the five-year limit appropriate to a third degree felony. § 775.082(3)(d), Fla. Stat. (1995); *922§ 784.021(2), Fla. Stat. (1995). We otherwise affirm the adjudication.
