Head Matter:
Felton J. FUTRELL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
Nos. 79-299, 79-300 and 80-1362.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
July 15, 1981.
Rehearing Denied Aug. 12, 1981.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Cherry Grant, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Barbara A. Butler, Asst. Atty. Gen., Dayto-na Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
ORFINGER, Judge.
Appellant is correct in his position that because he is a juvenile he was entitled to be sentenced under the procedures specified in section 39.111(6), Florida Statutes (1979), which requires, among other things, the pri- or receipt and consideration of a predisposition report, notwithstanding the fact that his prosecution was initiated by direct information. See Austin v. State, 400 So.2d 495 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981). The sentences are therefore vacated and the cause is remanded with directions to resentence the defendant in accordance with the cited statute.
Sentence VACATED and REMANDED.
FRANK D. UPCHURCH, Jr., and SHARP, JJ., concur.
