Head Matter:
Charles W. MOORE, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 5D03-1762.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
April 2, 2004.
James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Lyle Hitchens, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.
Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Douglas T. Squire, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

Opinion:
SHARP, W., J.
Moore appeals from a restitution order imposed by the trial court after he had been convicted in a DUI case which involved serious injuries to Janice Finley and caused her husband's death. Although the criminal trial concluded in 1998, the restitution hearing did not take place until April 2003.
The state agrees with Moore that the restitution order must be reversed and the cause remanded for a new hearing because the trial court erred in failing to offer Moore assistance of counsel at the hearing. See Moment v. State, 645 So.2d 502 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994).
REVERSED and REMANDED.
TORPY, J., concurs.
MONACO, J., concurs and concurs specially with opinion.
. At his 2001 resentencing hearing, Moore was represented by the Public Defender. Moore was declared indigent and the Public Defender was appointed to represent him in this appeal.
