M.W., a child, Petitioner, v. ARLONIA DAVIS, DIRECTOR OF ADOLESCENT PROGRAMS, LOCK TOWNS COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTER, INC., and FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES, Respondents.

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING AND CERTIFICATION

KLEIN, J.

We deny petitioner's motion for rehearing, but grant his motion for certification and certify the following question as one of great public importance:

IS A HEARING WHICH COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTIONS 39.407(4) AND 394.467(1), FLORIDA STATUTES, NECESSARY WHEN A COURT ORDERS THAT A CHILD BE PLACED IN A RESIDENTIAL FACILITY FOR MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT, WHERE THE CHILD HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO THE LEGAL CUSTODY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES, AND THE DEPARTMENT IS SEEKING RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT?

GUNTHER and GROSS, JJ., concur.
