J.C., a child, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 97-3333.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Oct. 1, 1998.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Karen E. Ehrlich, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Doquyen T. Nguyen, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

We reverse Appellant’s conviction for possession of less than twenty grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The state acknowledges that the trial court erred in denying Appellant’s motion to suppress based on a pat-down search that was not founded on reasonable suspicion. As the issue is dispositive, we remand for Appellant’s discharge.

STONE, C.J., and WARNER and GROSS, JJ., concur.
