IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA U. B., Juvenile, Appellant, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED v. CASE NO. 1D06-5646 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________/ Opinion filed October 5, 2007. An appeal from the Circuit Court for Gadsden County. Angela C. Dempsey, Judge. Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and M. J. Lord, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Joshua R. Heller and Bryan Jordan, Assistant Attorneys General, Tallahassee, for Appellee. BARFIELD, J. In this appeal from an order of restitution following the appellant s adjudication of delinquency based on charges of burglary and petit theft, we find no abuse of discretion in the trial court s decision to order $27 as restitution for the loss of stolen beer and gin, included in the charge of petit theft. However, as the state properly concedes, the trial court erred as a matter of law in awarding restitution for the loss of stolen jewelry which was not mentioned in the charging document. Noland v. State, 734 So. 2d 464 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999). The restitution order is REVERSED and the case is REMANDED to the trial court with instructions to enter a corrected order of restitution which does not include values for the jewelry. DAVIS and LEWIS, JJ., CONCUR. 2
