Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The Department of Children and Families (DCF) petitions this Court for certiorari review, challenging the circuit court's order committing Randy Doyle Ross, Jr., to their care. DCF argues the order departs from the essential requirements of law because Ross does not meet the statutory requirements for commitment. See § 916.13, Fla. Stat. (2018). The State properly concedes error.1 Accordingly, we grant the writ, quash the order under review, and remand for further proceedings. See Dep't of Child. & Fams. v. Lotton, 172 So.3d 983, 987 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015) ("[B]ecause there was no evidence presented to the trial court to support the findings it made, the trial court departed from the essential requirements of the law by ordering commitment.").

PETITION GRANTED; ORDER QUASHED.

ORFINGER, BERGER and GROSSHANS, JJ., concur.
