Opinion

No. 4D03-4417.

February 23, 2005.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Moses Baker, Jr., Judge; L.T. Case No. 03-5022 CJA02.

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and John M. Conway, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and David M. Schultz, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

In this case, S.M.W. appeals an order committing her to a level 8, high risk residential facility, raising several deficiencies in the disposition order and challenging the departure from the DJJ's probation recommendation. We affirm the level 8 commitment but remand to the trial court with instructions that the disposition order be amended to reflect credit for time S.M.W. spent in secure detention. See C.C. v. State, 841 So.2d 657 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003).

AFFIRMED.

GUNTHER, STONE and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.
