In the Interest of E.W., a child, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 91-3384.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    April 30, 1992.
    Nancy L. Showalter, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.
    Gypsy Bailey, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The sole issue on appeal in this case is appellant’s challenge to the constitutionality of section 39.061, Florida Statutes (Supp. 1990). We reverse.

We recently held section 39.061, Florida Statutes (Supp.1990) unconstitutional as an unlawful delegation of legislative authority to an administrative agency. D.P. v. State, 597 So.2d 952 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992). Appellant has challenged section 39.061 on the same grounds that were raised in D.P. We agree that the statute is unconstitutional for the reasons expressed in D.P.

Accordingly, appellant’s adjudication of delinquency is hereby reversed and this matter is remanded to the lower tribunal with instructions to discharge appellant.

SHIVERS, KAHN and WEBSTER, JJ., concur.
