James BEATY, a Minor, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, et al., Respondent.
    No. 96-1478.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    June 13, 1996.
    Howard H. Babb, Jr., Public Defender, and Michael Q. Berkley, Assistant Public Defender, Ocala, for Petitioner.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Steven J. Guardiano, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

The petition for writ of habeas corpus filed in the above-styled case is hereby granted, as the State has not sufficiently refuted petitioner’s argument that the court lost jurisdiction over him when he reached 19 years of age. Petitioner shall be immediately released from the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.

PETERSON, C.J., and GOSHORN and THOMPSON, JJ., concur.
