The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Section 985.215(10)(a) 1 provides that when a child is committed to [the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) ] awaiting dispositional placement to a moderate-risk residential program, the child may be held in detention after an order of adjudication for five days unless there is a finding that DJJ will require more time for placement. DJJ may then request an additional 10 days for a total of 15 days of postadjudication detention for commitment to a moderate-risk program. A juvenile may not be held longer than that unless the juvenile has been committed to a maximum-level program. The court may not extend this period even with stipulation from the child.”
