    In the Interest of S.R., a child, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 96-943.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Nov. 7, 1996.
    Rehearing Denied Dec. 27, 1996.
    Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General; Giselle Lylen Rivera, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

A juvenile court found appellant guilty of battery on a law enforcement officer and of resisting an officer with violence. The Department of Juvenile Justice filed a predisposition report recommending that appellant be placed on community control. The trial court rejected the Department’s recommendation and, without receiving a further recommendation as to a restrictiveness level, imposed a moderate risk (level 6) commitment. We reverse and remand because section 39.052(4)(e)2., Florida Statutes, unequivocally requires the court to receive and consider a recommendation from the Department as to restrictiveness level before ordering a commitment.

MINER, ALLEN and MICKLE, JJ., concur.
