In the Interest of B.P.
Opinion
The state does not dispute the appellant’s contention that the trial court, in this juvenile proceeding, was precluded from suspending a driver’s license beyond the defendant’s nineteenth birthday. Jurisdiction over the defendant as a juvenile ceases when he attains the age of nineteen. See C.L.D. v. Beauchamp, 464 So.2d 1264 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985); State v. A.N.F., 413 So.2d 146 (Fla. 5th DCA 1982); G.W.M. v. State, 391 So.2d 738 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980).
We find no error in that portion of the order requiring that the defendant perform one-thousand hours of community service at the rate of one-hundred hours per month.
The commitment order of the trial court is therefore reversed in part and remanded for modification in accordance with this opinion.
