This Court has been informed of an agreement submitted by the Public Defender and the State Attorney to eliminate the necessity of filing a written demand for discovery in each juvenile case.
Upon filing a Notice of Discovery with the Chief Judge of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, requesting compliance in all juvenile cases in the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, this agreement allows the Public Defender, when appointed, to participate in all discovery authorized by Rule 8.060, Florida Rules of Juvenile Procedure, except when electing not to participate. When choosing not to participate the Public Defender shall file a “Notice of Intent Not to Participate in Discovery” with the Court and the State.

The State Attorney has informed this Court of its concurrence in this working agreement.

It is therefore ORDERED: (Open AO for more information.)”
