DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT July Term 2010 BRANDON PANGBURN, Petitioner, v. RIC L. BRADSHAW, as Sheriff of Palm Beach County, Florida, Respondent. No. 4D10-3160 [August 5, 2010] PER CURIAM. We grant Brandon Pangburn s petition for writ of habeas corpus. Pangburn is currently in jail awaiting placement in a residential treatment program. No authority has been identified to support his detention. Compare § 916.107(1), Fla. Stat. (2009). The violation of probation affidavit that had been filed was withdrawn, yet Pangburn s probationary term was modified to provide for his placement in the treatment program. Jail pending placement was not a term of any agreement and nothing in the record furnished reveals a basis to support that detention. No statute or rule of procedure authorizes his continued detention. Petition for writ of habeas corpus granted. GROSS, C.J., MAY and CIKLIN, JJ., concur. * * * Petition for writ of habeas corpus to the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Karen M. Miller, Judge; L.T. Case No. 2009CF1398AMB.
