STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Michael T. JAMES, Appellee.
    No. 95-0447.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Nov. 29, 1995.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Sharon A. Wood, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellee’s sentence is reversed. Appellee acknowledges that it was error to sentence him to 15 years adult probation on an open plea to the charge of trafficking in cocaine. On remand, the trial court may impose any sentence or disposition that it could have validly considered initially, which may include either the statutory mandatory minimum prison sentence, a youthful offender sentence, or a juvenile sanction if Appellee is otherwise eligible.

GUNTHER, C.J., and GLICKSTEIN and STONE, JJ., concur.
