E.J.R., a child, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 98-1103
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Jan. 6, 1999.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and James J. Carney, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for ap-pellee.
   PER CURIAM.

E.J.R., who was placed on community control, argues that his disposition order should be corrected to reflect that the maximum term of community control that can be imposed on him is one year, which is the maximum term an adult could serve for the same offense, or the date of his nineteenth birthday, whichever occurs first. The only argument raised by the state is that the issue is not preserved, but we concluded in T.G. v. State, 717 So.2d 128 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998) that in juvenile cases, the failure to preserve does not bar appellate review. We therefore remand for amendment of the disposition order.

KLEIN, SHAHOOD and GROSS, JJ., concur.
