N.L. v. Department of Children & Family Services (770 So. 2d 220, 2000)

SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge.

The issue in this case is precisely the one considered in L.Y. v. Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, 696 So.2d 430 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997): whether the law of Florida permits the retention of circuit court juvenile jurisdiction over a person after the age of eighteen when she continues to receive services from the Department of Children and Family Services. As the trial court ruled, we hold, for the reasons well articulated in L.Y., that it does not. Accordingly, on the authority of L.Y., the decision below terminating the jurisdiction of the circuit court, juvenile division, over the appellants is Affirmed.
