E.W., a juvenile, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 91-490.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Dec. 24, 1991.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Louis Campbell, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Richard S. Fechter, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
    Before BARKDULL, LEVY and GERSTEN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

We find that the trial court failed to properly take a plea in adjudicating the appellant a delinquent. M. C. v. State, 561 So.2d 461 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990); J.W. v. State, 559 So.2d 751 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990); J.N. v. State, 483 So.2d 885 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986); Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969); Rule 8.130(a)(1), Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure; We therefore reverse the adjudication and disposition with directions to vacate same, permit the state to reinstate all charges, and then to proceed to trial unless a valid plea is made.

Reversed and remanded with directions.
