STATE of Florida, Petitioner, v. Georgina Lynn GRUBB, Respondent.
    No. 93-2515.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    Jan. 7, 1994.
    Norman R. Wolfinger, State Atty., and Ralph E. Eriksson, Asst. State Atty., Titus-ville, for petitioner.
    Blaise Trettis, Asst. Public Defender, Rockledge, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

The state brings this petition for writ of certiorari seeking review of the trial court’s order appointing the Office of the Public Defender to represent a juvenile in a delinquency disposition. We considered this issue in two other cases and remanded for consideration of all the statutory criteria required before defense is conducted at the cost of public funds. In both cases, the parent had not been contacted prior to the appointment of the public defender; that is the same circumstance that exists in this case. State v. Edge, 621 So.2d 586 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993); State v. D.V.S., 617 So.2d 1162 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993).

PETITION GRANTED; ORDER QUASHED; REMANDED.

DAUKSCH, PETERSON and THOMPSON, JJ., concur.
